Abstract

Huntington's disease is a genetically inherited degenerative neuropsychiatric disorder, characterized by motor alterations, including involuntary movements such as chorea, dementia and psychiatric disturbances. In this article, the authors review the clinical features of the disease. They also analyze some genetic and pathophysiologic aspects, that can help to improve our understanding of this disorder involving the basal ganglia.
