NCT ID NCT02995538
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a large database and biobank for people with suspected or confirmed neurogenetic disorders. Researchers will collect medical history, genetic test results, and samples over time to learn more about these conditions. The goal is to support future research that could lead to better diagnosis and treatments.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients evaluated at the Neurogenetics clinic and suspected to have an underlying neurogenetic disorder will be included. * Patients with known abnormal genetic testing with a neurological phenotype will be included. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient with acquired diagnosis, which can explain the patients clinical symptoms and with a clinical phenotype or family history not suggestive of an underlying genetic etiology.
