What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale

    The Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale consist of four subscales, including motor(0-124), MMSE (0-30), psychiatric (0-176), and functional domains(1-13). Four subscale scores are summed to compute a total score. Higher motor and psychiatric scores represent worse outcomes but higher MMSE score and functional scores indicate good outcome.

    Time frame: Five years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Brain MRI

    Brain MRI is used to assess the atrophy of caudate nucleus and cortex in HD patients

    Time frame: Five years
