The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status, While Useful for Measuring Cognitive Changes in Manifest Huntington Disease, May Show Limited Utility in Premanifest Disease

Conclusion: Our results substantiate previous findings of significant impairment on the RBANS in individuals with HD. In addition, we are the first to demonstrate that, although the RBANS can identify deficits in psychomotor speed and information processing in individuals with PreHD, it does not appear to have the ability to detect impairment in any additional cognitive domains in individuals with PreHD.
