What is Hutigto?
Doctor's answer:
This disease is a completely Mendelian dominant genetic disorder. Patients rarely develop the disease before the age of 20, and the incidence gradually increases after 20. When symptoms appear, they initially manifest as emotional fluctuations, followed by choreatic movements, recurrent epilepsy, and progressive decline in physical and intellectual abilities, leading to progressive dementia. The disease often results in death 4 to 20 years after the onset of symptoms. It has a significant family history of inheritance, and if either parent is a carrier, there is at least a 1/2 chance of their children developing the disease.
