Establishment of a Bank of Biospecimens for Future Research on Age-related Cognitive Disorders
Completed
Conditions studied: Dementia, Alzheimers Disease
In brief
This study is collecting tissue specimens (blood, urine and saliva) from up to 1000 patients, with and without cognitive disorders, to store in the Bio Bank for future research. The specimens could be used in future research projects that could help improve the accuracy of diagnosis of a disease, predict who might develop a disease, help monitor the disease, or improve the understanding of the disease. Patients are only being recruited from Beaumont Hospitals Geriatric Clinic.
