Huntington's disease is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene, leading to progressive motor dysfunction, cognitive decline, and psychiatric issues. In contrast, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath of nerve fibers, causing a range of neurological symptoms that can vary widely among individuals. While Huntington's is hereditary and typically manifests in mid-adulthood, MS can affect individuals of any age and has a more variable course. Both conditions impact the nervous system but have different underlying causes and progression patterns.
