Scientists hunt for early warning signs of rare brain diseases

NCT ID NCT05124392

Summary

This study aims to find early biological signs in people who carry a genetic risk for rare, fatal brain diseases like Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Researchers will track 150 at-risk participants over time through annual check-ups, blood tests, spinal fluid collection, and memory tests. The goal is to learn how to predict when symptoms might start and to prepare for future treatment trials.
