Non-Huntington's disease chorea: an expanding universe with acquired causes. (PubMed, Brain)
In addition, it has been established that a growing list of acquired causes may also mimic HD, including autoimmune illnesses such as primary antiphospholipid syndrome, paraneoplastic chorea, and anti-IGLON5. Here we aim to review the epidemiology, aetiology, clinical and laboratory findings of the wide range of conditions associated with HD phenocopies, and proceed to suggest a practical diagnostic approach to the investigation of HD phenocopies taking into account the age at onset, ethnicity, and geographic location of individuals.
