The symptoms described are characteristic of Huntington's disease, a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system resulting in uncontrolled movements (chorea) and delusions or other psychiatric symptoms. Schizophrenia can also involve delusions but typically does not involve these specific involuntary movements. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder that can cause intellectual disability if left untreated but does not cause these specific symptoms. Alzheimer's disease primarily affects memory and cognitive function and does not typically involve delusions or involuntary movements.
