Abstract in brief

Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by involuntary movements (chorea), psychiatric issues, behavioral changes, and dementia, typically starting around age 30-50.
The disease is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation involving an expanded CAG repeat on chromosome 4; the longer the repeat, the earlier the symptoms appear, with juvenile cases sometimes exceeding 55 repeats.
Treatment is symptomatic and multidisciplinary, focusing on managing movement, psychiatric symptoms, and improving quality of life, as there is currently no cure for HD.
