In every version since 2011, this has been sourced in the main to the organization's own WWW site, and peripherally to articles, some by Landwehrmeyer, that are about Huntingdon's disease itself and study results. Looking around, I cannot actually find anything that isn't press releases, the organization's own WWW site, regurgitations of the organization's own WWW site (helpfully marked as from the organization's own WWW site), interviews with Landwehrmeyer, or Landwehrmeyer writing about this. The world just hasn't independently documented this.

The fact that there's just been an edit war over how the article isn't true because it no longer matches the organization's own WWW site is just the icing on the cake when it comes to indications that no-one has documented this but the organization itself and its founder. If the sole source of truth is autobiographical, it is not appropriate for Wikipedia.
