Note: CAG, cytosine-adenine-guanine repeat (number of repeats > 40 is full penetrance); Estimated IQ, estimated full scale IQ; UHDRS, Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale, Motor Score has max score 124; UHDRS Confidence Ratings (max score 4); BDI–II, Beck Depression Inventory II score (max score is 63, normal range 0–9); P-values are based on the test appropriate for the type of variable in question (e.g., chi-squared tests for categorical variables and ANOVA for continuous variables; see text).
