Summary

[edit]
Description

Dr. Nancy Wexler is the President of the Hereditary Disease Foundation, started by her father Milton Wexler in 1968. She has devoted her scientific career to research on Huntington disease (HD), a hereditary fatal brain disorder, for which she herself is at risk. Since 1979, Dr. Wexler has led a research study of the world's largest family with HD, leading to the identification of the HD gene and development of a presymptomatic test. Her work has advanced research on HD and assisted in identifying other disease genes, including those for familial Alzheimer disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neurofibromatosis and dwarfism. Dr. Wexler is also active in public policy for rare disease, and has held numerous public policy positions, and received many honors and awards.
