Genetic Characterization of Movement Disorders |
This study is currently recruiting. |
Many movement disorders are familial and have an underlying genetic basis. These can be studied using recent advances in molecular genetics. Finding the genes involved will give us clues about the actual causes of movement disorders and will help us understand the forms of these diseases that aren't inherited. We are actively studying Parkinson's disease, dystonia, ALS, MSA, Ataxia, progressive supranuclear palsy, Tourette syndrome, Restless Legs Syndrome and other disorders. |
