== Early life and family history of Huntington's disease ==
Born in Seattle on August 18, 1977 to parents Cindy and Jim, Carroll is one of six siblings.〔〔 He joined the US Army in 1998, serving in Kosovo.〔〔 While serving in the army, Carroll's mother was diagnosed as suffering from Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal, incurable, genetically inherited neurodegenerative illness.〔〔 Learning that he and his siblings were each at 50% risk of having inherited the genetic abnormality that causes HD, and having no scientific background, Carroll enrolled in an Army-sponsored basic biology course, initiating a career as a neuroscientist.〔〔
Carroll underwent genetic testing for Huntington's disease in 2003 and received a positive result, indicating that he will succumb to the disease at some time, unless effective treatments are found.〔〔
