Fisher’s exact/χ2 tests (if expected cell count was <5), independent sample t-tests or one-way analysis of variance were used to discern group differences for relevant variables.
*At-risk participants from 248 families. Participants completed the GENFI symptom list.
†At-risk participants from 228 families. Participants completed the CBI-R Questionnaire.
‡Fisher’s exact test was used.
§Bonferroni correction applied.
¶Years from expected onset was calculated by subtracting the participant’s age at the time of participation from the mean age of symptom onset within the family.
