Official Title: Collection of Cerebrospinal Fluid in Healthy Children

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to obtain cerebrospinal fluid from healthy children already undergoing a lumbar puncture procedure at New York Presbyterian Hospital, to act as healthy controls when compared to children with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL), a fatal neurodegenerative disease.

Detailed Summary: obtain cerebrospinal fluid from healthy children already undergoing a lumbar puncture procedure at New York Presbyterian Hospital, to act as healthy controls when compared to children with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL), a fatal neurodegenerative disease.
Sponsor: Weill Medical College of Cornell University

Current Primary Outcome: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [ Time Frame: 1 time point (once) ]

The primary study endpoint is the metabolic profiling of 32 samples of cerebrospinal fluid from healthy subjects, in comparison to 32 samples of CSF from children with LINCL, to determine whether there are biomarkers found in the cerebrospinal fluid that are associated with LINCL.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
