Have you ever wondered whether patients diagnosed with NMDAre or other related forms of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) may have a genetic predisposition to AE?
A few months ago, we were contacted by a research group from Stanford University in California who is investigating this question. They have now obtained all the necessary approvals to begin recruiting patients and samples for the study, known as IGNITE. Below you will find all the information you will need to find out if you are eligible to participate, and what is required from you.
We encourage you to participate if you meet the eligibility criteria, as attaining large sample sizes is key to genetic studies.
We are grateful to Dr. Emmanuel Mignot and Dr. Sergio Muñiz-Castrillo of the Stanford Centre for Sleep Sciences and Medicine and their team for undertaking this important investigation.
