  Katrina Walker, 28 years old, likes to paint and read.Walker might also have Huntington's disease, a disease that her mom has, giving her a 50 percent chance of having the Huntington's gene.Walker could take a test to find out if she has the gene, but she hasn't yet.

   Walker admits sometimes the possibility of having Huntington's disease makes her anxious and sad, but for the most part, she doesn't think about it, and doesn't want to know if she has it. "If I have it, there's nothing I or anyone else can do at this point," Walker said."There is no cure for it or anything right now that even controls the disease well.Knowing isn't going to prevent me from having it."

Knowing that her life expectancy may be cut by 20 to 30 years is bound to cause some urgency.But getting tested can affect how someone lives their life.That was the conclusion of a study, which showed that individuals at risk of Huntington's disease who didn't get tested lived as if they didn't have the disease, and those who tested positive were more likely to get divorced, retire, report major financial changes and change their recreational (娱乐的) activities.
