## Abstract The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between CAG repeat length (CAGn) and clinical progression in patients with Huntington's disease (HD). There are conflicting reports about the relationship between CAGn and clinical progression of HD. We conducted an analysis of

## Abstract The objective of this study was to further explore the effect of CAG repeat length on the rate of clinical progression in patients with Huntington's disease. The dataset included records for 569 subjects followed prospectively at the Baltimore Huntington's Disease Center. Participants w
Huntington's disease (HD) produces progressive and ultimately widespread impairment of brain function. Neostriatal atrophy alone cannot account for whole-brain losses seen postmortem, and the mutant huntingtin protein and its neuropathologic sequelae are evident throughout the brain. Whole-brain atr
## Abstract Therapeutic trials in Huntington's disease (HD) are challenging as clinical progression is slow and variable and reliable biomarkers are lacking. We used magnetic resonance imaging and the brain boundary shift integral to quantify whole‐brain atrophy rates over 1 year in early and prema
