We analyzed the data on age at onset and CAG size of 319 patients clinically diagnosed with Huntington disease (HD) and 86 presymptomatic subjects recorded by four Italian Centers over the last 14 years. To overcome the problem of different CAG numbers found in each subject, also in the same family,
