Our study found that Black participants in North America presented to ENROLL-HD with more advanced disease than White patients. We also found that higher education was associated with less advanced disease when entering the ENROLL-HD study. The role of race/ethnicity and education in HD symptom severity warrants further investigation. These findings underscore the importance of further studying the role of social and structural determinants of health in patients with HD, particularly those from historically marginalized communities.
