Neurogenetics
Edwin H. Kolodny, MD, Director
Duration: 1-2 years, every other year. This fellowship
is appropriate for the adult and pediatric neurologist. It provides
training in the diagnosis and` management of children and adults
with inherited diseases of the nervous system, such as congenital
malformations, the lysosomal storage diseases, disorders of mitochondrial
metabolism, amino acid and organic acid diseases, neuromuscular
disorders, the spinocerebellar ataxias, and other degenerative diseases.
The fellow attends weekly clinics, makes consultation rounds, participates
in didactic conferences and seminars and assists in the teaching
of neurogenetics to residents. Training in the biochemical and molecular
aspects of neurogenetics is provided through the Neurogenetics Service
and Research Laboratories. There is ample opportunity during the
fellowship for clinical and bench research depending upon the specific
interests of the fellow.
