Genetic screening for Huntington's disease in Chinese patients with involuntary movements.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery - 1 Dec 1997

Abstract excerpt

The diagnosis of Huntington's disease (HD) can be confirmed by detecting the expanded CAG repeat in the IT15 gene. Besides chorea, patients with HD may present with a variety of bizarre involuntary movements, resulting in confusion in making the diagnosis. Under such conditions, genetic analysis is the final confirmatory test. To determine if any patient with involuntary movements of undetermined etiology might...
