Popis: Abstract Chorea, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms are shared by Huntington’s disease (HD) and similar conditions called HD phenocopies. We describe the first case reported in Italy of Huntington disease‐like 2 (HDL2), clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from HD, showing the importance of considering African ancestry in the diagnostic process.
