Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with severe degeneration of basal ganglia neurons, especially the intrinsic neurons of the striatum, and characterized by progressive dementia and involuntary abnormal choreiform movements. Despite our increasing knowledge of the pathophysiology
