Electroencephalography/Polysomnography (EEG/PSG)
Instigators will determine if subjects are candidate for the procedure. A sleep study records the brain electrical waves, the oxygen level in the blood, heart rate breathing, as well as eye and leg movements. Subjects will need to be admitted overnight for the sleep study.
Skin Biopsy
A special 3-4 mm (0.12 inches) wide circular tool will be used to remove a small section of skin including deeper layers. A numbing cream or injectable anesthetic (i.e. lidocaine) will be applied to the area before the procedure. Sample will be used to create a cell line. This means that investigators would treat the cells from the sample in a way that allows to grow them in the laboratory. Investigators will then use these cells in research.
Blood draw
A single blood sample of 15 cc (not exceeding 3 cc per kg) (\~3 teaspoons) will be collected for metabolomics (biomarker) study. From available family members, same amount of blood will be obtained to use as a control sample.
