Evidence for specific cognitive deficits in preclinical Huntington's disease.

TL;DR: It is suggested that these cognitive impairments relate to a common deficit in inhibitory control mechanisms, under the control of striatofrontal mechanisms, and that such a deficit is present in Huntington's disease mutation carriers prior to the onset of definite motor symptomatology.

Identification of genetic variants associated with Huntington's disease progression: a genome-wide association study

Davina J. Hensman Moss, +734 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: A novel measure of disease progression and a genome-wide significant signal on chromosome 5 spanning three genes: MSH3, DHFR, and MTRNR2L2 is generated, suggesting this mechanism as an area for future therapeutic investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychiatric symptoms and CAG repeats in neurologically asymptomatic Huntington's disease gene carriers

TL;DR: The putative relationship between the psychiatric profile of a sample of neurologically asymptomatic Huntington's disease gene carriers and CAG repeats was investigated and there was no correlation between any psychiatric variable and C AG repeats.
