Altered driving performance of symptomatic Huntington's disease gene carriers in simulated road conditions.

CONCLUSIONS: Manifest HD drive more cautious in a driving simulator when speed limits increase compared to premanifest HD and controls and they have less vehicle control on the motorway. The driving simulator parameters are able to discriminate between manifest HD and healthy individuals, so a driving simulator seems a feasible tool to use when investigating changes in driving in manifest HD.
