Description
In order to understand the conditions that affect the children cared for in the Division of Neurology, we need to better understand underlying mechanisms. This study will enable us to understand how the brain and nervous system work. The goal of this study is to collect biological samples and medical information from children to create a Neuroscience Biorepository to advance future neurological research. Any patient with a neurological condition can participate. Please talk to your provider (Nurse Practitioner or Doctor) about opportunities for your children or their friends to help.
What to expect
Our study team will be recruiting in Beurger Outpatient clinics and on the 9 South In-patient unit.Participants will be asked to allow collection of information from medical records, this info will then be coded for privacy. Participants will then be asked to provide a sample: blood, saliva, cheek swab, or other sample tears, urine, stool. Finally, participants will be asked about their health in a brief interview.
