Sandhoff disease

This early-stage trial tests whether adding special cells (DUOC-01) into the spinal fluid is safe for children with inherited metabolic diseases that damage the brain. Participants are ages 1 week to 21 years and are already receiving a standard umbilical cord blood transplant. T…

This study tests a device called Walkasins, worn on the lower legs, that vibrates to give sensory feedback about foot pressure. The goal is to see if using it daily for six months improves balance and walking in 200 adults aged 55+ with peripheral neuropathy. Participants will do…

This study aims to learn more about rare inherited disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves. Researchers will collect medical history, perform exams, and run genetic tests on up to 3,500 participants. No new treatments are tested; the goal is to better un…

This study follows children and adults with Tay-Sachs, Sandhoff, and GM1 gangliosidosis to understand how these diseases progress. Researchers will measure changes in motor skills, communication, and behavior each year. The goal is to create a clear picture of the diseases so fut…

This study is collecting information from 4,000 adults with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) to better understand the condition. Researchers will combine standard tests with nerve ultrasound to see if it helps diagnose and track the disease. No new treatments are being tested…

This study follows 1500 people with rare genetic brain disorders to learn how these diseases progress. Researchers measure thinking, movement, and daily living skills over time, and also look at brain scans and body fluids. The goal is to better understand the diseases and how tr…

This study is collecting nerve samples and biofluids from 400 people with ALS or peripheral neuropathies to find biological markers for early diagnosis and disease tracking. By analyzing individual cells, researchers hope to identify molecular changes that happen before symptoms …
