Abbreviations: WRAML = Range Assessment of Memory and Learning, Second Edition (WRAML-2); SDMT = Symbol Digit Modalities Test; COWA = Controlled Oral Word Association; n = number of participants able to complete each test.

P values are for comparison of neuropsychological test scores in manifesting carriers versus non-carrier family members calculated under the general linear mixed model using random terms for family and family x genotype-phenotype group.

Values are mean ± standard deviation [n].
