All values below are reported from the OM-HD-01 pedigree study (Genetics in Medicine, 2020), which compared the eight-generation Omani pedigree (n=302; 54 affected; 8 juvenile onset) against a European-Italian reference HD cohort using Mann-Whitney/Fisher's exact tests in R 3.4.0 .
Onset differed at P<0.0001, CAG length at P<0.0001, and CAP score at P=0.002 (532.3 vs 415.4); a log-transformed linear regression of onset on CAG length within OM-HD-01 explained 94% of variance (n=25) . Juvenile-onset proportion was 8/54 = 14.8% in OM-HD-01; no comparable Italian joHD proportion is reported in the supplied record, so it is annotated rather than graphed.
