TRACK-HD is unique as it uses the most
cutting-edge assessment techniques available to date, such as 3T MRI (3 tesla
magnetic resonance imaging) and a range of computerized assessments that allow
objective measurement of cognitive and motor functioning. In addition, the
study is dynamic, in that it will incorporate promising new measures and refine
its existing measures over time. These steps ensure that the final measures
will be the most sensitive to subtle changes related to HD progression. Baseline Assessments - Novel 3T MRI image acquisition
- Novel quantitative motor assessments
- QoL, functional and family history
- Cognitive battery
- Oculomotor assessments
- Neuropsychiatric battery
- Lab biomarkers
- Genotype/phenotype correlations
