Creation of a Bank of Fibroblast From Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Pilot Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Interventions
Procedure: skin biopsy
Registration Number
NCT01639391
Lead Sponsor
Institut Pasteur
Brief Summary

Patients with ALS will be included in the reference center for ALS in hospital La Pitié Salpêtrière, Paris.

The study proposes to investigate the pathophysiology of ALS by setting up a fibroblast bank for studying molecular, cellular and genetic parameters of the pathology.

iPS (induced pluripotent stem cells) and then differentiated cells will be generated.

The pathophysiology of ALS will be studied on the 3 types of cells (fibroblasts, iPS, differentiated cells).
