This article will focus on the genetic disease Huntington's chorea. This article will look at the main causes of the disease, what the main effects/symptoms of the disease are, where the disease is primarily found, if there is a cure/treatment for the disease, and what research is being done on the disease. . In Greek, chorea means “to dance” (Huntington's Chorea, 2007). This term helps describe what a person with Huntington's disease experiences. According to Huntington's disease (nd), a person may experience a handful of symptoms before actually experiencing motor problems and other symptoms. All the symptoms will be covered in this article. This article will look at all of the items listed above and dig deeper into Huntington's disease. The patient is middle-aged. Through tests and personal experience, he knows he has Huntington's disease. He slowly begins to develop symptoms of Huntington's disease. He begins to feel awkward. Then little by little, he begins to have hallucinations. He begins to lose all sense of consciousness. He then loses his motor skills. He can hardly do anything on his own. This is accompanied by constant crises. After all the pain and suffering he endured, he is condemned to death (Huntington's disease, nd). As the first physician George Huntington said, “the unfortunate patient is but a quivering wreck of himself” (Huntington's Chorea, 2007). At first, people didn't know what caused Huntington's disease. They just knew that if anyone in their family had it, there was no hope for them. They didn't even bother to go to a doctor or doctor. They knew that ultimately the person would die a painful death. It was only recently, in the 20th century, that scientists began to understand...... middle of article ......rom Reference website on genetics: http://ghr. nlm.nih.gov/gene/HTTHHuntington's disease.
