The study is a single, cross-sectional cognitive interview of FuRST 2.0, functional rating scale, administered to Huntington’s Disease Gene Expansion Carriers (HDGECs). The scale will be tested as a patient reported outcome (PRO) in that the information will come directly from the participant through self-report.
