WHAT IS HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE?
Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary, progressive, and neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the development of emotional, behavioral, and psychiatric abnormalities; loss of previously acquired intellectual or cognitive functioning; and movement abnormalities (motor disturbances). Also known as Huntington's chorea, the disorder is named for the American physician who initially described the condition in 1872.
