The National Research Roster for HD Patients and Families is a nationwide registry and information resource dedicated to assisting scientific research on HD. The Roster identifies HD patients and families who are interested in participating in research projects to help scientists learn more about HD. The Roster has involved nearly 3,000 families in HD research.

The Indiana University DNA Bank was established as the world’s first DNA bank in 1984. The DNA bank was created so that individuals and families could store DNA samples that may be needed for future genetic testing.

For more information about the Roster or the DNA bank, please visit http://hdroster.iu.edu or contact the coordinator by calling (317) 274-5744 or email pswolf@iupui.edu
