Lauren Holder’s grandfather was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease (HD) when she was just a teen. After a few years, at the age of 20, Lauren decided to be tested for HD, ultimately testing positive. Despite this, Lauren remained dedicated to caring for her father, who is now symptomatic, and the larger HD community. In 2017, at the age of 32, Lauren found out she was pregnant unexpectedly. Because of the risk of passing on HD, she chose to undergo genetic testing for the baby. She now has a beautiful baby girl that is HD negative.
