Facing a family history of Huntington’s disease? This episode breaks down the tough decisions teens and young adults face when considering genetic testing — from legal rights and insurance pitfalls to financial planning and privacy.

Plus, discover how to navigate testing with control over your medical data — before you even step into the lab.
