Abstract
We provide direct evidence of longitudinal decline in white matter microstructure in symp-HD. Although pre-HD did not show longitudinal change, clinical symptoms and motor function predicted white matter microstructural changes for all gene positive subjects. These findings suggest that loss of axonal integrity is an early hallmark of neurodegenerative changes which are clinically relevant.
