Neurogenetics Clinical and Research Fellowship

The UCLA Neurogenetics Program is nationally and internationally recognized for excellence in the clinical diagnosis and management of neurodevelopmental and neurogenetic disease. The UCLA Neurogenetics Clinic utilizes state-of-the-art technologies including clinical exome sequence to diagnose rare neurogenetic disorders including various forms of leukodystrophy and spastic paraparesis as well as metabolic and mitochondrial conditions affecting the nervous system.

Clinicians and researchers at UCLA are involved in national and international research collaborations on a variety of molecular studies and clinical trials involving various neurogenetic disorders such as Huntington disease, Spinocerebellar Ataxia, Friedreich Ataxia, and more.

Researchers in the Neurogenetics Program are also working to identify new genes which cause both rare and common neurologic diseases using cutting-edge genomic technologies including exome and genome sequencing. The work within the program is funded by multiple grants from the National Institute of Health and several private foundations covering a wide range of genetic diseases including Spinocerebellar Ataxia, Autism, and many others.
