Analysis applied to 5854 individuals with at least one recorded symptom endorsement (not necessarily positive). All variables fitted simultaneously. AUC is a measure of the ability of the covariates to jointly predict symptom presence.

AMO, age at motor onset; AUC, area under the curve; F, female; HD, Huntington’s disease; M, male; OR, odds ratio; POB, perseverative/obsessive behavior; VAB, violent/aggressive behavior.
