Abstract:
We report a 6-year-old boy with a positive family history of Huntington disease (HD), who presented with ambiguous neurological and psychiatric symptoms. The suspected diagnosis of HD was confirmed by DNA analysis. This new method is very helpful when the first signs of HD cannot be clearly interpreted.
