The first known record of the Huntington's Disease was in 1872. George Huntington wrote about a hereditory form of chorea which was exclusively on the east end of Long Island. Yet, the juvenile form was first decribed by J. Hoffman in his book __//Uber Chorea chronica progressiva//,__ published in 1888. With data collected from a 3 generation family, he recorded two daughters ages 4-10 who shows rigidity, hypokinesia, and seizures. For more detailed information, click [|here].
