And description of movement hyperkinetic dystonic (chorea, athetosis) is indicating Huntington rather than parkinson. parkinson will have as we all know tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia.

lol... i cant see the q too....may be hottie forgot to post the link........but i remember the q..........its huntingtons......."chorea/athetosis" for someone in the 40 s .......thats the key , parkinsons people have trouble starting movements, so wont have chorea athetosis..........rest all could be in other diseases too......also remember "anticipation" "suicide" "AD" "caudate nucleus" "GABA" are other imp clues, specific for huntingtons (not given in this q though)
