The aim of this study is to measure longitudinally the availability of the PDE10A enzyme in HDGECs using the radioligand \[18F\]MNI-659. The study will be a follow-up, examining HDGECs from the CHDIKI1201/PET-HD-PDE10A (NCT02061722) study from 18 to 28 months after the initial PET measurement.
The HDGECs will perform 2 study visits: Visit 1 (screening) and Visit 2 (PET analysis utilizing the radioligand \[18F\]MNI-659). There will also be 2 telephone follow ups; one after Visit 1 (telephone follow-up after screening) and one after Visit 2, (telephone follow-up after PET). Study visits and telephone follow-ups will take place during a maximum of 97 days.

The longitudinal changes of PDE10A enzyme availability in the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus of Huntington's Disease Gene Expansion Carriers by comparison of the follow-up and initial PET measurements.
The HDGECs will perform 2 study visits; Visits 1 (screening) and Visit 2 (PET) and 2 telephone follow ups, one after Visit 1 (telephone follow-up after screening) and one after Visit 2, (telephone follow-up after PET) 18 to 28 months after the initial PET measurement conducted in the CHDIKI1201/PET-HD-PDE10A study. An individual subject's participation in this study will last for a maximum of 97 days
Time frame: The follow up PET measurement can be performed from 18 to 28 months after the initial PET measurement that was performed in the CHDIKI/PET-HD-PDE10A Study
