Abstract

ted by both sexes. Each child of an afflicted parent has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the disease. This risk continues uninterrupted from one generation to the next. Occasionally, a parent dies before the age when the symptoms characteristically appear, and this may give the impression, incorrectly, that Huntington's disease has skipped a generation(2). The age of onset of symptoms is extraordinarily inconsistent. Although most individuals first develop symptoms between the ages of 30 and 40 years, symptoms can occur between 20 and 60, a span of four decades. Rare cases have been

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
