Summary
This study follows 37 children and young adults with Juvenile-onset Huntington's disease (JoHD) over time. Researchers use brain scans, thinking tests, and behavior checklists to see how the disease affects the brain differently than adult-onset Huntington's. The goal is to find reliable markers that could help track the disease in future treatment studies.
