On the centenary of George Huntington's death, Wexler et. al. reconsider the setting and the
collaborative effort that produced his description of “hereditary chorea,” today Huntington's
disease. Tracing the changing identity of this illness, they discuss the legacy of eugenics, the
search for the gene, and ongoing research toward a cure.
