The Importance of Signing Up for the CACNA1A Natural History Study
The CACNA1A Natural History Study, designed and vetted by the Chung Lab at Columbia University, will provide valuable information to doctors and scientists about CACNA1A related disorders. Individuals will be asked to fill out detailed health questionnaires and provide comprehensive medical data, including MRIs and EEGs. The study has been approved by Columbia University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB), and all information will be de-identified and safely stored. Annual updates will characterize the course of the disease over time. It is a huge endeavor but by participating and telling your story, you will directly advance research on CACNA1A related disorders and contribute to a cure!
