1. Development of Skeletal Muscle Fibers from Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this study is to create a repository of skin fibroblasts from patients with inherited myopathies or suspected inherited myopathies. The study will optimize the development of skeletal muscle cells from patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and to characterize their morphological, biochemical, electrophysiological and molecular properties. The study will also use skin fibroblasts as source of DNA to investigate for research purpose the genetic defect causing the myopathy, and test in future potentially therapeutic drugs in the iPSC-derived muscle cells.

2. Cerebral Spinal Fluid Evaluation in Individuals Who Have Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (INPH)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to further characterize the serum and Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) biomarker profile of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, both before and after VP shunt placement, and help differentiate this profile from Alzheimer’s disease.
