Proper Citation: NICHD Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental Disorders (RRID:SCR_003601)

Description: The objective of this human tissue repository is to systematically collect, store, and distribute brain and other tissues for research dedicated to the improved understanding, care, and treatment of individuals with developmental disorders. Brain sections are primarily frozen in isopentane / dry ice. Tissues are stored in 10% formalin and frozen at -85 degrees C. Of special interest are individuals with Down syndrome and other chromosomal defects, mitochondrial encephalopathies, phenylketonuria and other aminoacidopathies, maternal PKU, Rett syndrome, leukodystrophies, lysosomal disorders, dyslexia, autism, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The brain and tissue banks have extensive experience in arranging for the rapid retrieval of tissue upon the death of individuals who die while at home, in hospitals or hospice care. As a special service, the brain and tissue banks are able to assist researchers who are working with patients who intend to donate tissues at the time of their death. Immediately after retrieval of the tissue, the brain and tissue banks will forward needed tissue to the referring investigators and ensure proper storage and cataloging of any additional tissues as part of the brain and tissue banks. The recipient of tissue and the brain and tissue banks are required to sign a Tissue Transfer Agreement before any tissues are transferred.
