Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from NINDS Human Genetics Resource Center Parkinson disease (PD) patient lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were used to study PD pathology
read moreNINDS Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines (LCLs) were used in this study to explore the role of Parkinson’s disease-associated LRRK2 protein and its kinase activity in regulating reactive oxygen species production and oxidative damage.
read moreThis study used Parkinson’s disease patient cells with LRRK2 mutations to investigate the relationship between LRRK2 kinase activity, mtDNA damage and mitophagy.

read moreThis collection, housed at the Coriell Institute for Medical Research since its creation, contains cell lines, DNA, and extensive de-identified clinical data from thousands of patients diagnosed with a wide range of neurological disorders, including some of the most pressing diseases of our time—stroke, parkinsonism, and several others.
read moreISBER awarded a team of Coriell scientists its inaugural ISBER Best Paper Award for their article “Microsatellite Markers in Biobanking: A New Multiplexed Assay,” published in the journal Biopreservation and Biobanking. This paper detailed the development of a novel microsatellite assay to ensure proper sample identification while doing the utmost to maintain donor protections.
read moreThis study performed trio-based whole exome sequencing (WES) in a multicenter, international cohort of patients with polymicrogyria and epilepsy recruited and extensively phenotyped through the Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project (EPGP) and sequenced through the Epi4K Consortium.
read moreIn this study, published in The American Journal of Human Genetics, researchers took a genome-wide approach to look for human-specific repeat variants, variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs), that distinguish neurological disease populations.
