Abstract
Olfactory performance declines throughout the Huntington's Disease (HD) course. PREDICT-HD participants were classified at their level of risk for symptom onset and completed the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test. Odor detection accuracy declined with increased risk score and subsequent visits. Smell performance aligns with traditional measures of HD risk.
