New York Institute Of Technology Essential Tremor Study
Predisposing genetic factors remain unknown for the vast majority of individuals with Essential Tremor. A team at the New York Institute of Technology has developed a novel genetic testing platform for uncovering genetic variants responsible for ET predisposition. We are currently recruiting individuals with ET who are willing to complete a brief questionnaire and provide a cheek swab or saliva sample for entry into this research study. No on-site visit is required. If you have any interest in contributing to this research or any questions regarding this study please contact the principal investigator, Dr. David Tegay, at (516) 686-3897 or by e-mail at: dtegay@nyit.edu
