The purpose of the current proposal is to expand understanding of two currently available cognitive tools that are not typically used in Huntington Disease (HD) clinical trials that might be useful both for initial screening and for clinical trial application. One is the Coding Test and the other is the Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination (SAGE). Both the Coding Test and the SAGE have been used for assessments of individuals with other neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Lewy Body Disease, but data is lacking on their use in individuals with HD.
Subjects will be recruited from the OSU Wexner Medical Center Huntington Society of America Center of Excellence Clinic. Subjects will be scheduled for a one-time visit to complete the study. The entire visit will take approximately 1-1.5 hours. Vital signs (weight, blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate and pulse) will be conducted. The subject's medical records will be reviewed to obtain their demographics, current medications, medical/surgical/ HD family history, and HD diagnosis details. If any adverse events occur during the research visit they will be documented. Participants will complete cognitive, functional and motor assessments.

| Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT) compared to the Coding Test | Comparison of scores on Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT) and Coding Test. Associations will be investigated using Spearman correlations. | One day visit |
| Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination (SAGE) score compared to the Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT) and the Stroop Word reading scores | Comparison of SAGE score with the SDMT and the Stroop Word reading scores. (The two neuropsychological scores used in the UHDRS that have shown the best correlation with HD disease onset and progression). Associations will be investigated using Spearman correlations. | One day visit |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Comparison of Luria test scores and Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT) vs Coding scores. | Comparison of Luria test scores and SDMT vs coding scores. The Luria test is a sub-score of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) motor exam and is considered marker of cognitive motor skill. Associations will be investigated using Spearman correlations. | One day visit |

| Comparison of Total Motor Chorea sub-score, a part of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) total score and scores on the Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT), Coding and Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination (SAGE). | Comparison of Total Motor Chorea sub-score, a part of the UHDRS total score and scores on the SDMT, coding and SAGE.Severity of chorea involuntary movements that are common in HD might affect ability to complete either test as both the DSC and the SAGE require fine motor and drawing skills. Associations will be investigated using Spearman correlations. | One day visit |
