What is the difference between huntingtons and parkinson's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetics: Huntington's is a familial genetic disorder causing a flailing involuntary movement of limbs called chorea, and is progressive with poor medical control. Parkinson's is more of a degenerative disorder, mostly in men, occurring later in life, associated with a resting tremor, and many therapies can help. Both diseases can cause dementia.
