Huntington's disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor impairment, cognitive changes, and mental disorders. It is caused by an abnormality in the HTT gene, which codes for the protein huntingtin. This gene is located on chromosome 4, and its mutation leads to the expansion of CAG nucleotide repeats, which in turn causes pathological changes in neurons. The disease usually manifests itself in adulthood, although variants with earlier or later onset are possible. To date, it is known that Huntington's disease has a pronounced autosomal dominant inheritance, which means that the presence of one mutant copy of the gene leads to the development of the disease.<\/p>\n
