Funded Activity Summary

For two groups of neurogenetic disease, leukodystrophy and polymicrogyria, the underlying genetic cause is not known for at least 50% of cases. In these cases, patients and their families do not have access to accurate genetic counselling, prognostic information or targeted therapeutics. This study will use new genetic technologies to identify the specific genetic causes underlying these diseases. These results will improve patient care and our understanding of the disease mechanisms.
