  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Senile chorea has been an ill-defined clinical entity because of the difficulty of differentiating it from Huntington's disease (HD) of late-onset type. The gene specific for HD has recently been found to contain an abnormal (CAG) n trinucleotide repeat which allows it to be differentiated from the other conditions. Our case of late-onset chorea was differentiated from HD by PCR. An 80-year-old man had experienced gradually increasing chorea of his tongue, arms and legs for 4 years, but had not exhibited character changes, mental symptoms or dementia. He died of pneumonia at 84 years.
