Genetic testing study for inherited neurological conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial looks for genetic causes of inherited (in family) neurological diseases by using genetic screening. If you might have an inherited neurological condition, this study may help explain why symptoms happen and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older (or your legal guardian can join for consent)
- Have a suspected inherited neurological disease (runs in the family or seems genetic)
- Be able to give informed consent (or your guardian can)
- Not be allergic to local numbing medicines used for skin procedures
- Be healthy enough to tolerate a skin biopsy (a small skin sample)
- Not have a bleeding problem history, and avoid blood thinners/anticoagulants; NSAID pain medicines may need to be stopped before the biopsy
Quick eligibility check

This research study evaluates people with inherited neurological conditions (nervous system disorders that run in families) and their relatives. Researchers aim to better understand these conditions and improve diagnosis through clinical exams and genetic testing.
This study uses advanced DNA analysis to understand confusing genetic test results in people with brain or nerve diseases. It aims to improve diagnosis by reclassifying uncertain genetic findings.
This study uses advanced long-read DNA sequencing to find hidden genetic causes of neurological diseases. It may help people who have a known repeat expansion or those with an unexplained neurological condition and willing family members.
This study looks at genetic (inherited) information using a blood sample from people who come to a memory/cognitive clinic, including some with related family history. Results may help researchers understand who is at risk and how these conditions develop.
This study follows people with a confirmed genetic nerve or brain disease over time, collecting blood and sometimes spinal fluid samples to learn more about the condition. It may help researchers understand how the disease progresses.
This study looks at genetic diseases that affect the immune system and the brain. It aims to better understand these conditions by comparing patients, their relatives, and healthy controls.
