Genetic and Blood Biomarkers in Neurological and Neuromuscular Diseases

Completed

Conditions studied: Neurological Disorders, Neuromuscular Disorders

In brief

The purpose of this study is to identify genetic or other factors in the subjects blood that may predispose them to getting a particular disease or tell researchers how the disease will behave, for example how fast it will progress or what areas of the body might be affected. A second goal is to relate such factors to how such a condition affects the subjects clinically as well as how it affects the electrical functions of nerves and muscles.
