In the clinic patients and families with Huntington's Disease (HD) from across the country are seen for genetic counseling, testing and treatment. Here, neurologists, geneticists, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses and secretaries are all familiar with HD. We conduct clinical research on HS.

The Danish Huntington Registry

The registry is located at Section of Neurogenetics, Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, The Panum Institute.

This registry (approved by the DPA) is primarily a research registry, but it is also used for diagnostics, including prenatal diagnosis of at-risk HD individuals. The registry is nationwide and includes for the time beeing (2011) about 12,000 people spread over 540 families in which Huntington's Disease (HD) occurs.

The registry is divided into an electronic database containing biographical data and laboratory results and a manual book, which contains clinical information.

Section for Neurogenetics is the center for genetic- and molecular biological research in inherited neurodegenerative diseases. Our focus is Huntington's Disease (HD) and the closely related diseases, which are also due to the extension of a CAG-repeat sequence in a gene. Furthermore, research into Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, hereditary forms of spasticity and dystonia. Our research group has a long tradition of research on HS, which includes studies of patients as well as cellular- and animal models of the disease.

Research Projects

Clinical and paraclinical investigations of HD patients are aiming at early diagnosis and biomarkers (MRI, SPECT and PET). Sleep studies are ongoing at present. We are studying glucose intolerance and predisposition to diabetes in HD patients.

Molecular studies of cell models (NT2/NT2-N) and transgenic mice (R6/1) focuse on methods for down-regulation of huntingtin and studies of the effect of an reduced expression of huntingtin.
Identification of genetic factors significant for age at onset of HD is also the subject of our efforts.

Recently, cell dysfunction in non-neuronal tisues has also been the subject of our studies. Studies of a secondary changed gene expression profiles in HD fibroblasts compared to normal fibroblasts are in progress.
