Psychological reactions to predictive genetic testing for Huntington's disease: A qualitative study.

There is a lack of qualitative research investigating the experience of individuals at risk for Huntington's disease (HD) during the period prior to undergoing predictive testing, as well as their reaction to the test result. This secondary analysis study aimed to explore the experiences during the predictive testing process of individuals who had been or who were at risk for HD. For the primary study, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.
