Attitudes Toward Direct Predictive Testing for the Huntington Disease Gene
JAMA 270:2321-2325, Babul,R.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A direct mutation test for HD will most readily be accepted by persons who wanted but could not previously receive a result in the linkage test program and those who previously received an increased-risk result.In the absence of therapy,the majority of persons who previously chose not to have predicted testing are unlikely to participate in a new test despite improved accuracy.This has implications for the expected demands for testing services for other adult-onset genetic disorders.
