BIOHD is aiming to identify biomarkers in the blood, imaging, and through psychological tests. This is done in order to be able to better predict the progression of Huntington’s disease (HD) – before symptoms are visible.
What is a biomarker? It is a measurable indicator of a disease or condition. It can for instance be a level of something in your blood or hormon levels. Biomarkers are often measured and evaluated to examine normal biological processes – like measuring the level of hemoglobin in your blood or your blood pressure. In reference to research on Huntingtons disease, a biomarker is an indicator of disease progression.
