Note. CAG = cytosine-adenine-guanine; UHDRS = Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale.

a

Classification of participants into Low, Medium, and High is based on the CAG-age product (CAP) (see “Method” section). Low: low probability (> 15 years from diagnosis); Medium: medium probability (9–15 years from diagnosis); High: high probability of near-future diagnosis (estimated to be <9 years from diagnosis).

b

The UHDRS assesses motor functioning. Scores range from 0 to 124, with higher scores reflecting more impairment.
