Aicardi Syndrome clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Aicardi syndrome is a genetic disorder that can lead to brain development problems and seizures. UCSF is conducting studies on genetic factors that may influence cognitive challenges and epilepsy in affected individuals. This research explores genetic impacts on brain growth in Aicardi syndrome.

    open to all eligible people

    Dr. Elliott Sherr and his collaborators at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are studying the genetic causes of disorders of cognition and epilepsy, in particular disorders of brain development that affect the corpus callosum, such as Aicardi syndrome, as well as two additional brain malformations, polymicrogyria and Dandy-Walker malformation. The goal of the investigators' research is to use a better understanding of the underlying genetic causes as a foundation to develop better treatments for these groups of patients.
