TUBB4A-Related Leukodystrophy clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
TUBB4A-related leukodystrophy is a condition that damages the brain's white matter. UCSF is running a study that collects biological samples and clinical data from patients around the globe. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of how these disorders affect people.
Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project
open to all eligible people
The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.
