Sandra Porter has a blog post that starts a series using Huntington's disease as a way to look at the key steps of researching a genetic disease. Porter recounts how she first learned about the disease, and the initial research phases -- reviewing the literature, tracking the gene of interest, and looking at model organisms, among others. It's a good primer for anyone getting into a genetic disease project, and Porter promises more to come with future installments in her series.
