Hereditary neurological disorders are relatively common in paediatric neurological practice, but it has considerable overlap with adult neurological disorders. It is a group of of genetic diseases, most of which with a Mendelian inheritance affecting neurological system. Pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases are not fully understood. There is currently no effective therapy for most of these diseases. Disease-specific and patient- specific iPS cells would provide useful source of cells in culture modeling in these diseases. In this study, disease-specific iPS cell lines repositories from hereditary neurological disease patients will be established. The cell lines will be registered and make them available to other investigators.
