Our study suggests the clinical utility of management using a combination of predictive testing and monitoring methods. Psychosocial support should be considered with collaboration between geneticists/genetic counsellors and psychologists. For a more optimised protocol for monitoring and designing future interventional trials in presymptomatic carriers, prospective cohort studies are necessary to clarify the natural history, particularly in the early stages of the disease.
