The clinic offers not only diagnosis and management of Huntington's disease, but also opportunities to participate in research projects. The diagnosis of symptomatic patients is established by clinical evaluation and confirmed by the DNA diagnostic test. Presymptomatic diagnosis is performed by an experienced team of neurologists, a clinical geneticist, a genetic counselor, and a clinical psychologist.
Prenatal diagnosis is also available.
The DNA diagnosis is generally not available for juveniles at risk for the disease. However, for extraordinary cases in which the DNA diagnosis appears to be essential from medical or social viewpoints, the Advisory Board investigates the situation to make appropriate recommendations.
