Proper Citation: VA Biorepository Brain Bank (RRID:SCR_006546)
Description: A human tissue bank that collects, processes, stores and gives out research specimens for future scientific studies. Presently, the VABBB is obtaining neurologic tissue specimens from Veterans who suffer from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other illnesses that affect Veterans, along with relevant clinical data, essential for research. Currently, neither the cause nor prevention of ALS is known. Medical researchers are currently examining environmental, toxic, genetic, traumatic, medical, and occupational influences as possible contributors to the development and progression of ALS. Veterans have a higher risk of developing ALS compared with non-Veterans; however, the reasons for this higher risk are currently unknown. Any Veteran with ALS in the U.S. may enroll in the VABBB.
