An author of more than 600 publications, Dr. Hayden is the most cited author on Huntington's disease in the world.  He is well known for having developed a predictive genetic test for Huntington's disease, which was the first ever predictive test for any genetic disorder.  With Xenon he has also identified genes associated with rare disorders such as Tangier disease, juvenile hemochromatosis and congenital insensitivity to pain.  These discoveries are leading to novel approaches for treating common diseases such as cardiovascular disease, anemia and pain.
