Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Chorea may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Since chorea has a certain hereditary tendency, individuals with a family history of similar conditions may develop the disease due to genetic factors. 2. Besides genetic factors, exposure to harmful substances or head trauma resulting from external impacts may also lead to the development of chorea.
