   Huntington's disease (HD), also known as Huntington's chorea, is an incurable neurodegenerative disease [7] that is mostly inherited. [8] The earliest symptoms are often subtle problems with mood or mental/psychiatric abilities. [9][1] A general lack of coordination and an unsteady gait often follow. [2] It is also a basal ganglia disease ...

   Chorea may result specifically from disorders of the basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, thalamus, and cerebellum. It has also been associated with encephalitis, hyperthyroidism, anticholinergic toxicity, and other genetic and metabolic disorders. [4] Chorea is also the prominent movement featured in Huntington's disease. [7]

   Huntington's disease is a degenerative neurological disorder that is inherited. Degeneration of neuronal cells occurs throughout the brain, especially in the striatum. There is a progressive decline that results in abnormal movements. [31] Statistics show that Huntington's disease may affect 10 per 100,000 people of Western European descent.
