Huntington's Disease

Huntington's disease or Huntington's chorea (HD) is an inherited disorder characterized by abnormal body movements called chorea, and loss of memory. It takes its name from the Ohio physician George Huntington who first described it precisely in 1872. The incidence is 5 to 8 per 100,000.

There is evidence that doctors as far back as the Middle Ages knew of this devastating disease.
