Tapping, Average speeded tapping intertap variability for left and right index finger; Tongue, sustained tongue force measure; SDMT, Symbol Digit Modalities test; SWR, Stroop word reading task; TMT B, Trail making test part B; SPOT, Visual array comparison task for visual short‐term memory capacity; BDI‐II, Becks Depression Inventory 2nd version; FrSBe = Frontal Systems Behaviour rating scale Self Report; disinhibtion, executive dysfunction and apathy subscores; CAG, CAG repeat length (in gene carriers only); Expected years to onset correlation is only for premanifest gene carriers. All correlations are controlled for the effects of age and gender.
