A case of Huntington disease‐like 2 in a patient of African ancestry: the everlasting support of clinical examination in the molecular era

Abstract

Chorea, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms are shared by Huntington’s disease (HD) and similar conditions called HD phenocopies. We describe the first case reported in Italy of Huntington disease‐like 2 (HDL2), clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from HD, showing the importance of considering African ancestry in the diagnostic process.
