Abstract
Subjects affected with Huntington's disease were ascertained from the literature and their sex, age at onset of symptoms, major neurological sign (choreo-athetosis or rigidity), and sex of affected parent were recorded. The onset ages of 130 rigid subjects had a lognormal distribution, while those of 434 choreic subjects were normally distributed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
