My family has been greatly affected by Huntington’s Disease (HD), and after my third sister-in-law, Cindy, died from HD complications, I searched for ways to help in the fight against the cruelest disease on the planet. What is HD?
One way to contribute is through Enroll-HD. Enroll-HD is a worldwide observational study of Huntington’s disease (HD), meaning that it doesn’t involve taking a drug but tracks peoples’ health and behavior over time. There are more than 20,000 participants globally, who visit hundreds of sites and all undergo the exact same evaluations yearly. Anyone from an Huntington’s Disease family can participate, regardless of gene status or risk. It is a resource for the entire HD community, including patients, families, patient advocates, clinicians and other healthcare professionals, researchers, and anyone else who has a connection to HD.
The study is enabling scientists to identify new drug targets, helping pharmaceutical companies to recruit participants quickly and efficiently for their trials, and moving the field towards an improved understanding of HD and quality care.
