Scientists probe immune link to devastating brain disorders

NCT ID NCT04925349

Summary

This study aims to understand how the body's immune cells, specifically macrophages, might influence the progression of several rare inherited brain diseases. Researchers will collect a single blood sample from 100 participants, including patients with conditions like adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), as well as healthy volunteers. The goal is to learn if the genetic mutations causing these diseases trigger a specific immune response that leads to brain damage.
