AB Genetically  transmitted  progressive  neurologic  disease  characterized  by  involuntary  (choreiform)  movements  and  slowly  progressive  dementia,  leading  to  death  15  to  20  years  after  the  first  clinical  symptoms.  The  symptoms  usually  begin  between  30  and  50  years  of  age,  but  can  start  at  any  age.
