Genetics of Motor Learning

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Parkinson s Disease, Dystonic Disorders, Focal Dystonia, Movement Disorders

In brief

Background: \- New studies in human genetics have revealed information about genetic connections to memory and motor behavior. Researchers are interested in investigating the role of genetics in motor learning, in conjunction with related studies taking place in the Human Motor Control Section of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS). Participants in motor learning studies conducted at NINDS will be asked to provide blood samples for further evaluation. Objectives: \- To create a repository of blood samples from patients and healthy subjects who are participating in NINDS motor learning studies. Eligibility: \- Individuals between 18 and 100 years of age who are or will be participating in motor learning research studies at the National Institutes of Health. Design: * Blood draws for genetic testing will usually be done on the same day as the motor learning study. Participants will provide one blood sample for research. * No treatment will be provided under this study....
