Official Title: Clinical and Molecular Manifestations of Neuromuscular and Neurogenetic Disorders of Childhood
Brief Summary:
Background:
- Some nerve and muscle disorders that start early in life (before age 25), like some forms of muscular dystrophy, can run in families. However, the genetic causes of these disorders are not known. Also, doctors do not fully understand how symptoms of these disorders change over time. Researchers want to learn more about genetic nerve and muscle disorders that start in childhood by studying affected people and their family members, as well as healthy volunteers.
Objectives:
- To better understand nerve and muscle disorders that start early in life and run in families.
