Huntington disease-like 2

Huntington disease-like 2 (HDL2) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, mood, and thinking. It is part of the neuroacanthocytosis syndromes, a group of conditions that share similar features including unusual blood cell shapes and neurological issues. This condition is characterized by a triad of movement difficulties, psychiatric problems, and cognitive decline.

People with Huntington disease-like 2 can experience a range of symptoms including problems with movement, changes in mood and behavior, and difficulties with memory and thinking. These symptoms reflect the complex nature of the condition, affecting several areas of health.

Huntington disease-like 2 is linked to genetic changes involving the JPH3 gene. This genetic factor is an important part of understanding the condition, although more detailed mechanisms about how it causes the disease are still being studied.
