Abstract

A study was conducted of the fertility (number of live births) of Huntington's disease (HD)-affected individuals compared to that of the general population using data from the 1986 Census of Population and Housing. HD-affected individuals were found to be at least as fertile as members of the general population. This finding supports earlier studies.
