HSC Factsheets

In an effort to expand our services to Huntington disease (HD) families, and to the general public, the following publications are available to download. The Huntington Society of Canada (HSC) is a charitable organization dependent on public support. A donation of any amount to HSC would help us to continue to make publications such as the fact sheets listed here available to the public. 

We have listed our most popular factsheets to start, and then in alphabetical order by topic after that. You can access the factsheets by clicking on the link below the topic.

When printing a factsheet, select “Fit” under “Page Sizing & Handling” so the edges of the factsheet do not get cut off by your printer.
