Huntington disease in South African blacks. A report of 8 cases.

J Joubert1, M C Botha.   

Abstract

Huntington chorea is rare in ethnically pure blacks; 8 South African black patients, 6 adults and 2 children, from 4 families are described. The symptoms do not appear to differ materially from Huntington chorea in other races. Increased awareness of the disease in this population group is warranted.
