Benign hereditary chorea

Description

Benign hereditary chorea should be considered in people with a relatively stable, nonprogressive chorea, in whom childhood onset and an autosomal dominant family history are present. Benign hereditary chorea can be associated with short stature and developmental delay. Larger deletions of causative gene, TITF-1, can cause a multisystem disorder with congenital hypothyroidism, hypotonia, and pulmonary problems.
