Summary

This study aims to find genes linked to rare brain diseases like PSP, CBS, and MSA. Researchers will collect blood samples from up to 1,000 adults with these conditions and their family members. The goal is to better understand what causes these diseases, not to test a treatment. Participation involves a one-time blood draw and poses minimal risk.
