Huntington's disease is caused by a single dominant allele and results in progressive mental and neurological damage. The disease usually becomes symptomatic when a person is between 30 and 50 years old and the patient usually dies within 15 years of diagnosis. Approximately 1 in 25,000 Caucasian...
Summary Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by an abnormal expansion of the CAG repeat in HTT, the gene that codes for huntingtin. The classical description of HD is that it is a motor disorder characterized by involuntary choreiform movements, with an increasing occurrence of bradykinesia, ...

Huntington's disease is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. The hallmark symptom of Huntington's disease is the presence of progressive chorea (abnormal involuntary movements), which is accompanied by psychiatric symptoms and cognitive decline. ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormal expansion of a polymorphic stretch of CAG repeats in the coding 5′ part of the HD gene on chromosome 4p. Expansions of CAG blocks beyond 35 repeats are associated with the clinical pre...
