Plain-English translation of NCT03047369 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ · Source last updated · Translation generated · How we translate trials
This is a large research study that collects biological samples (like blood) and medical information from thousands of people who have or may have white matter disorders — rare genetic conditions affecting the brain. Researchers will use these samples and records to try to figure out what causes these diseases, develop better diagnostic tests, and understand how the diseases progress over time.
Many people with white matter disorders spend years being tested without getting a clear diagnosis, and even when doctors do identify the disease, very little is known about why it happens or how best to treat it. This study aims to close that gap by gathering information from many patients in one place so researchers can find patterns, discover new causes, and eventually create better ways to diagnose and care for people with these conditions.

If you join, you would donate blood or tissue samples and allow researchers to access your medical records and test results. You may also complete standardized medical assessments and be contacted in the future about participating in additional research studies. The study is ongoing, so there is no set end date, but you can participate at your own pace and may be followed over months or years to track how your condition changes over time.
