About The Study

CAPRIN1 is a widely expressed protein that plays a vital role in regulating key cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, differentiation, and proliferation. Discovered around two decades ago, extensive research has since uncovered its functions and involvement in various diseases. CAPRIN1 has been associated with human cancers, with recent studies identifying its expression as a universal marker for solid tumors. Furthermore, CAPRIN1 exhibits unique functions within the brain.

Neurons
The CAPRIN1 research study aims to understand the role of CAPRIN1 in genetic conditions and how it affects individuals who are carriers. This includes obtaining an understanding of the phenotypic effects of the mutation and its variability by comparing individuals who have been identified with the mutation. Further research into CAPRIN1's mechanisms in both physiological and pathological states is crucial for developing potential therapeutic interventions for these neurological disorders.

Participants will be asked to provide genetic samples, which will be analyzed by the research team through laboratory testing and further investigations. These samples will help researchers gain valuable insights into genetic factors related to the condition being studied. By taking part, individuals contribute to advancements in medical science, potentially leading to improved treatments and a better understanding of the disease. All genetic data will be handled with strict confidentiality and used solely for research purposes to ensure privacy and ethical integrity.
