This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 30 days old.
- You have a diagnosis or medical history of a neurological condition (like ALS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or MS) or you are a healthy volunteer.
- If you are an adult, you can understand and sign a consent form (or have a legally authorized representative if needed).
- Children under 18 need a parent or guardian to agree to their participation.
- You do not have a history of keloid scars, bleeding disorders, or severe immune deficiency that would make sample collection unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study builds a blood and spinal fluid (lumbar puncture) sample library from people with ALS, ALS-FTD, or similar neurodegenerative diseases. Your samples help researchers study these conditions, even if you are not receiving a new treatment.
This study collects a small skin sample (biopsy) from people with ALS, those who carry an ALS gene mutation but have no symptoms, and healthy volunteers. The sample is used to grow cells in the lab to better understand how ALS develops.
This study is a research collaborative that collects information from people with ALS or their families. It aims to better understand the disease and find markers that could help develop treatments.
This study looks at the skin of people with memory or movement disorders (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS) to find proteins that may help diagnose these conditions. If you have one of these diseases or are a healthy older adult, you may be able to join by giving a small skin sample.
This study looks at people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), people who might have ALS, and also people related to someone with ALS. It may help researchers better understand ALS and related “motor neuron” conditions, and it involves participation that may include blood tests.
This trial collects blood and spinal fluid samples from people being checked for ALS. The goal is to find clues (biomarkers) in tiny particles from nerve cells that could help doctors better understand and diagnose ALS.
