The Guthy-Jackson Repository for Neuromyelitis Optica Overview Accelerated Cure Project has formed a partnership with The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation, an organization dedicated to funding basic science research to find answers that will lead to the prevention, clinical treatment programs and a potential cure for Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) Spectrum Disease. Our two organizations, together with the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) are creating a special collection of NMO samples and data to foster scientific collaboration for NMO Spectrum Disease. In this initiative, people with NMO can enroll into the repository at ACP’s collection sites located in leading neurology clinics across the US

Background: Association of the haplotype including DRB1*1501 with multiple sclerosis (MS) is well established. Recent studies have suggested lack of association of this haplotype with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) (Z?phir et al
