Res Admin Core, Res Subject Recruitment & Human DNA Samples Banks/Databases

发作性睡病及相关疾病中心(PSO) 该中心主要协调这三个项目的活动，并协调人体样本库，用于人类嗜睡症的研究。人类嗜睡症是一种影响15万至20万美国人的疾病。 为了支持这项研究和由发作性睡病中心内的其他赠款资助的研究，确认了三项主要核心活动： (1)行政和协调职能，以促进调查人员和项目之间的研究和互动 (2)为研究项目招募人类发作性睡病患者；这包括储存DNA、脑脊液、咽拭子和发作性睡病患者和对照受试者的大脑标本。招聘将集中在最近的发病。 (3)维护包含人类临床数据、DNA、血清和脑脊液样本的计算机化数据库。

Center for Narcolepsy and Related Disorders (PSO) The Core essentially coordinates activities across the three projects and coordinates the banking of human samples for research on human narcolepsy, a disorder affecting 150,000 to 200,000 Americans. To support this research and research funded by other grants within the Center for Narcolepsy, three main core activities are recognized: (1) An administrative and coordinating function to facilitate research and interactions among investigators and projects (2) Recruitment of human narcolepsy patients for research projects; this includes the banking of DNA, CSF, throat swabs, and brain specimens from narcolepsy and control subjects. Recruitment will focus on recent onset. (3) Maintenance of computerized databases containing human clinical data, DNA, serum, and CSF samples.
