Who might be able to join this trial:
- You must be 4 years of age or older

- Adults must be able to give their own consent, or have a legal representative who can give consent on their behalf if they are unable to do so
- Children must have a parent or legal guardian who can give consent on their behalf
- If you are a blood relative of someone being tested for a possible genetic cause of their neurological condition, you may be eligible for the genetic testing part of the trial
- If you are only providing a skin sample or saliva sample, you must also be willing to agree to the collection of your health information or biological samples, including storage of those samples
Who may not be able to join:
- People who are unable to undergo assessment and treatment for a brain or nervous system condition
- For those only providing skin or saliva samples: people who do not yet have a clear, established diagnosis of a recognized condition with known treatment guidelines, if the researchers feel that enrolling them would not meaningfully advance medical knowledge (confirm with trial site)
