HD Study at Indiana University, Indianapolis
Identification of Novel Biomarkers in Huntington's Disease

We are now in the process of recruiting subjects who would like to participate
in a new Huntington disease research study entitled Identification of Novel
Biomarkers in Huntington Disease at Indiana University. If you are interested in
learning more about this new study please contact Jeanine Marshall or Kate
Kreiner at 317-278-8410/ jldatzma@....

Eligible participants will be asked to complete two study visits at Indiana
University in Indianapolis approximately 1 year apart. The study visit will last

contribute a blood sample. Please be aware that there will be no results given
concerning any of the testing performed.

Funds are available to pay the cost of travel to Indiana University and all
