Summary
This study looked at brain structure and thinking skills in children, teens, and young adults (ages 6-30) who have a parent or grandparent with Huntington's disease. Researchers used MRI scans and cognitive tests to compare those who carry the gene mutation with those who do not. The goal was to understand if brain changes linked to Huntington's start during development, long before symptoms appear.
