Chorea and Huntington-like disorders panel [19 genes]

Although Huntington’s disease is the most common form of chorea, it is estimated that 1% to 7% of suspected cases have a negative HTT triplet repeat expansion study (Martino et al., 2012), and other differential diagnoses must be considered. In addition to other non-genetic conditions (infectious, immune, toxic, or vascular), there are several phenocopies of Huntington’s chorea that must be taken into account.

Priority Genes : Genes where there is sufficient evidence (clinical and functional) to consider them associated with the disease; they are included in the clinical practice guidelines.
Secondary Genes: Genes related to the disease, but with a lower level of evidence or that constitute sporadic cases.
* Candidate Genes: Not enough evidence in humans, but potentially associated with the disease.
