The authors studied presymptomatic individuals with the Huntington disease (HD) mutation to determine whether cortical thinning was present. They found thinning that was regionally selective, semi-independent of striatal volume loss, and correlated with cognitive performance. Early, extensive cortical involvement occurs during the preclinical stages of HD.
作者对携带亨廷顿舞蹈病(HD)突变的无症状个体进行了研究,以确定是否存在皮质变薄的情况。他们发现这种变薄具有区域选择性,与纹状体体积减少半独立相关,且与认知表现相关。在HD临床前阶段就会出现早期广泛的皮质受累。
