Mission and Organization
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) 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 at the Coriell Institute receives blood samples and clinical data and prepares DNA and cell lines for distribution to promote neurogenetics research. The NINDS repository is HIPAA compliant and has a certificate of confidentiality.
Neither NIH/NINDS nor Coriell make a profit from the distribution of samples from the NINDS Repository.
Over ten thousand well-phenotyped DNA samples and cell lines from individuals with Epilepsy, Parkinsons disease, Stroke, ALS, Tourette Syndrome, as well as from neurologically normal controls are publicly available from the NINDS Repository. Control samples include both population controls and spousal controls.
This mission of the NINDS Human Genetics Resource Center is to Provide:
- genetics support for scientists investigating pathogenesis in the central and peripheral nervous systems through submissions and distribution
- information support for patients, families, and advocates concerned with the living-side of neurological disease and stroke
