This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.This purpose of ths study is to determine the genetic and molecular basis of inherited neurological disorders by gathering and analyzing DNA samples from patients seen in the neurology clinic of the University of Utah. Many families present with such diseases, ranging from rare to common syndromes, and together represent a rare resource. Often these families are quite large, making them exceptionally valuable for genetic studies.
Specific Aims :We plan to characterize the molecular and genetic defects associated with inherited neurological disorders, by pursuit of the following aims:1. Ascertainment of unusual familial inherited neurological syndromes2. Sampling of blood for DNA analysis, and storage of DNA for genetic analysis in our laboratories or those of future collaborators.
