Three-year follow-up after presymptomatic testing for Huntington's disease in tested individuals and partners.

1 Jan 1997

Abstract excerpt

The 3-year psychological effects of presymptomatic DNA diagnosis for Huntington's disease are described in 20 identified carriers of the Huntington's disease gene (mean age = 31 years), 29 noncarriers (mean age = 32 years), and 37 partners. The Intrusion and Avoidance subscales of the Impact of Event Scale (M. J. Horowitz, N. Wilner, & W. Alvarez, 1979) and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (A. T. Beck, 1986; A. T....
