One disorder with symptoms almost identical to those of this disease results from a mutation in the Kell protein on the surface of red blood cells and is a type of acanthocytosis. Intracellular antibodies have been found to reduce aggregations of N-terminus protein mutants in this disease, and levels of CREB binding protein are lowered in this disease. A type of this disease with unusually early onset is known as its (*) Westphal type. Sufferers of this disorder, which destroys neurons in the basal ganglia, have a mutation that leads to a large number of CAG repeats on chromosome 4, causing symptoms like memory impair

Sufferers of this disorder, which destroys neurons in the basal ganglia, have a mutation that leads to a large number of CAG repeats on chromosome 4, causing symptoms like memory impairment and personality changes. For 10 points, name this autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder whose sufferers exhibit abnormal jerky movements, or "chorea."
