The NINDS Human Genetics Resource Center at the Coriell Institute is a growing bank for human cells, DNA samples, clinical data, and information sources, to accelerate research on genetics of disorders of the nervous system. Its mission is to provide genetics support for scientists investigating pathogenesis in the central and peripheral nervous networks and information support for patients, families, and advocates. Current diseases being collected are Parkinson’s, Epilepsy, Stroke, and Motor Neuron Diseases, including ALS, Primary Lateral Sclerosis, and SMA. The repository is gearing up to accept samples with accompanying clinical data, so we would appreciate your assistance in getting the word out about this important resource to your community, especially clinician investigators and scientists.

The NINDS Neurogenetics Cluster offers a webpage devoted to the repository online Click Here to Read More.
