what is huntington's chorea disease
Huntingtonâs disease is a neurological (nervous system) condition caused by the inheritance of an altered gene. The death of brain cells in certain areas of the brain results in a gradual loss of cognitive (thinking), physical and emotional function. Huntington's disease is a complex and severely debilitating disease, for which there is no cure. The most common symptom is jerky movements of the arms and legs, known as âchoreaâ.
