NINDS Human Genetics Resource Center
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke is committed to gene discovery, as a strategy for identifying the genetic causes and correlates of nervous system disorders. The NINDS Human Genetics Resource Center banks samples donated by individuals with cerebrovascular disease, dystonia, epilepsy, motor neuron disease, Parkinsonism and Tourette Syndrome, as well as population controls.
Available samples
| Cerebrovascular Disease | DNA | LCL |
|---|---|---|
| Dystonia | DNA | LCL |
| Epilepsy | DNA | LCL |
| Motor Neuron Disease | DNA | LCL |
| Parkinsonism | DNA | LCL |
| Tourette Syndrome | DNA | LCL |
| Controls | DNA | LCL |
Announcements
New Cerebrovascular Disease Samples Available!
More than 1000 DNA samples from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) project have been added to the NINDS Human Genetics Resource Center and are available through the catalog to the scientific community. Since 2003, REGARDS, a NINDS funded project, has worked to better understand geographic and ethnic contributions to risk of stroke.
