  • Note.—NA indicates not applicable; UHDRS, Unified HD Rating Scale. Data are the mean (standard deviation).

  • * Close participants were significantly older than far participants (P < .05).

  • Close participants had a significantly longer CAG repeat size than that of far participants (P < .05).

  • In the close group, onset was predicted significantly earlier than in the far group (P < .001).
