Education, age at death and onset, symptom duration, and time from last evaluation to death are expressed as mean ± SD. Numbers in parentheses represent row percentages unless otherwise indicated. Some values for age at onset and symptom duration were missing; therefore, numbers of subjects with available data are reported.

y, years; mo, months; n, number.
