在本研究中，作者评估了亨廷顿氏病基因检测调整的预测因素。检测后对52名基因阳性和108名基因阴性的人进行了1年的研究。以绝望和抑郁症状定义的调整在披露后3、6、9和12个月进行测量，两组的调整都在正常范围内。那些不太适应的人检测结果呈阳性，已婚，没有孩子，或者更接近他们的估计发病年龄。该研究描述了心理困扰的风险因素，考虑进行亨廷顿氏病检测的人应该考虑这些因素。（PsycINFO数据库记录(c) 2016 APA，版权所有）
In the present study the authors assessed predictors of adjustment to genetic testing for Huntington's disease. Fifty-two genetically positive and 108 genetically negative persons were studied for 1 year following testing. Adjustment, defined by hopelessness and depressive symptoms, was measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after disclosure and was within normal limits for both groups. Those less well adjusted had tested positive, were married, had no children, or were closer to their estimated ages of onset. The study delineated risk factors for psychological distress that should be considered by people contemplating testing for Huntington's disease.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
