Huntington's Disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder. Substantial for a diagnosis of the disease are motor disorders, with chorea as a hallmark symptom. Other disease manifestations include cognitive dysfunction and psychiatric disorders. Currently, pharmacological treatment plays the most important role in the therapy of HD patients.
