## Abstract Benign hereditary chorea is an autosomal dominant disorder presenting with childhoodβonset chorea, no dementia, and little or no progression. We present a family with typical clinical features of benign hereditary chorea. Pathological investigation of the brain of an affected family mem
## Abstract Because of clinical similarities, benign hereditary chorea and myoclonusβdystonia (DYT11) might be confused. No systematic comparisons of genetically proven cases with thyroid transcription factorβ1 (__TITFβ1__) and Ξ΅βsarcoglycan (__SGCE__) mutations have been performed to date. Three i
## Abstract Benign hereditary chorea is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by early onset nonprogressive chorea, caused by mutations of the __thyroid transcription factorβ1 (TITFβ1)__ gene. Clinical heterogeneity has been reported and thyroid and respiratory abnormalities may be present.
