Patient Registry

What is the CreatineInfo Registry?

The CreatineInfo Registry is a Patient-reported Registry and Natural History Study created by ACD and hosted by NORD (the National Organization for Rare Disorders) for furthering research and empowering the Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes (CCDS) community. This new registry is a Natural History Study that will allow CCDS families to share valuable information in an international, confidential, and safe database, and will be the primary registry for Creatine Deficiencies. Natural History Studies are longitudinal studies that aim to fill research gaps by helping medical researchers better understand how diseases progress over time.
