About this trial
The purpose of this research repository is to collect, store, and share with other researchers any tissues that subjects with all types of neuromuscular disease are willing to donate. These samples will be stored at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and will be used for future research with this population.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
To collect, store, and share with other researchers any tissues that subjects with all types of neuromuscular disease are willing to donate.
Subjects will have the opportunity to provide the following samples: saliva or cheek swab, urine sample (up to 15ml), feces (up to 2mg of a stool sample), blood (up to 40ml), muscle biopsy tissue, and cell line (subjects have the option to allow a cell line to be made from their blood, muscle, or skin biopsies to provide a renewable supply of DNA and other cell components for research)
Time frame
BaselineSecondary outcomes
1
To collect medical history information from subjects with all types of neuromuscular disease and healthy controls.
Information will be collected from the subject medical records and will include care they have received in the past, are receiving now, or may receive in the future. Subject information may include name, age, gender, diagnosis, and other medical history information that may be beneficial to the research staff.
