Chorea, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms are shared by Huntington's disease (HD) and similar conditions called HD phenocopies. We describe the first case reported in Italy of Huntington disease-like 2 (HDL2), clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from HD, showing the importance of considering African ancestry in the diagnostic process.
亨廷顿舞蹈症(HD)以及被称为HD拟表型的类似病症都存在舞蹈症、认知衰退和精神症状。我们描述了意大利报告的首例2型亨廷顿舞蹈症样病(HDL2),其临床和放射学表现与HD无法区分,这表明在诊断过程中考虑非洲血统的重要性。
