ABSTRACT
We describe seven patients with genetically confirmed Huntington's disease (HD) who had non-choreic movement disorders as presenting symptoms or signs. Patients with movement disorders other than chorea in the early stages tended to have larger CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in comparison with more "typical" HD patients.
RESUMO

Pacientes com manifestação motora inicial diferente de coréia apresentaram maior número de expansões repetidas de CAG trinucleotídeo quando comparados com aqueles com sintomatologia motora "típica".
