Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) may detect retinal changes as a biomarker in neurodegenerative diseases like manifest Huntington's disease (HD). We investigate macular retinal layer thicknesses in a premanifest HD (pre-HD) cohort and healthy controls (HC). METHODS: Pre-HD mutation carriers underwent standardized ratings and a preset macular OCT scan. Thickness values were determined...
