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.
