Aicardi Syndrome clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Aicardi syndrome is a condition that impacts brain development. UCSF is conducting research to understand the genetic roots of this disorder and its connection to epilepsy. The study focuses on how these genetic issues affect thinking skills.
Brain Development Research Program
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.
