Sorting DNA changes to better diagnose nerve conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child have a brain or nerve disease that might be caused by a single gene.
- You have had genetic testing (like whole exome or genome sequencing) that did not find a clear answer.
- You are willing to allow researchers to reanalyze your genetic data.
- You have health insurance coverage in France (social security).
- You can sign a consent form to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a new, advanced DNA sequencing method to look for a specific type of genetic change (called 'repeat expansion') that may cause neurological disorders. The goal is to help people who have a neurological condition but whose standard genetic tests did not find the cause.
This study looks at DNA patterns in fetuses or children with rare genetic conditions. It aims to better understand how these patterns relate to diseases that start before birth, which could help with diagnosis and future care.
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.
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 is for children or adults with neurodevelopmental conditions and unusual physical features, where standard genetic tests haven't found a cause. Researchers will use RNA and DNA sequencing to look for hidden genetic explanations, which could guide better care.
This study is for people with a neuromuscular disease or epilepsy whose genetic testing hasn't found a clear answer. It uses advanced techniques to look at parts of the DNA that don't code for proteins, to find hidden causes and help guide future treatments.
