These diseasees are characterized by disturbances of higher order neurologic function, which are complex and often not easily reduced to numerical values. Most rati

Clinical symptoms include tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity, all of which invariably increase in severity as the disease progresses with time. Pathologically, there is progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra pars compacta. This degeneration results in p

This HD mutation involves an unstable DNA segment; the IT15 gene, which is located near the telomere of the short arm of chromosome 4, contains a trinucleotide repeat (CAG) that is expanded (> 36) and unstable (1). Clinically, HD is characterized by constant, uncontrollable choreiform

Patients are usually asymptomatic until their third or fourth decade of life, and then deteriorate during the course of 10–15 yr. Thus, by the time a person at risk for HD begins to manifest symptoms, he or she is likely to have begun a productive life
