Massive leukodystrophy biobank aims to unlock disease secrets
NCT ID NCT03047369
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects medical information and biological samples (like blood or tissue) from up to 12,000 people with leukodystrophies—rare disorders that damage the brain's white matter. Researchers will use this data to find new genetic causes, develop biomarkers for future trials, and better understand how these diseases progress. The goal is to improve diagnosis and pave the way for new treatments, though no direct treatment is offered to participants.
