Abstract

We analyzed longitudinal data on irritability symptoms from the multisite observational Predict-HD study on 294 participants carrying the gene expansion that causes Huntington's Disease.  Inward and outward irritability scores were stable over one year and correlated with depression and anxiety but not  cumulative exposure to mutant huntingtin protein (CAP score).
