It might help to start with some background research to learn more about the disorder, the risk factors, how it is diagnosed, the interventions and treatments, etc. Once you've identified the main ideas you plan to research, combine your search terms using AND to create a search string you can use in a database. For example: Huntington's AND treatment AND children

The following are recommended nursing and genomics journals. Most of these journals are scholarly. This means that some of the articles in these journals were written by experts and were reviewed by several other experts in the field before publication. This ensures the articles' quality. Be aware, however, that peer-reviewed journals also include book reviews, editorials, letters to the editor, and other news items that are not peer-reviewed.
