Brain Development and Genetic Study for Family Members
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This research study investigates how genetic factors affect brain development and function in families where members have brain malformations, intellectual disability, or autism. Researchers hope to identify genetic causes that could lead to better understanding and future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or a family member has a brain malformation (abnormal brain structure) diagnosed by a doctor
- You or a family member has intellectual disability (difficulty with learning and thinking skills) that runs in your family
- You or a family member has been diagnosed with autism
- You are willing to provide medical records or family health information
- Any age and any gender can participate

This study asks people with specific genetic changes linked to autism and their family members to complete online tasks and questionnaires. It may help researchers better understand how these genetic differences relate to autism traits.
This study collects information about people with intellectual disabilities or autism that have a known genetic cause. Parents or family members can enter data about their child, and adults with the condition can also share their own experiences.
This study looks at how the brain develops in people with certain rare conditions that affect brain structure. It may help researchers understand these conditions better and could lead to improved care.
This study looks at brain, behavior, and genetic factors in people with neuropsychiatric or developmental disorders, as well as their biological relatives. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and find new ways to diagnose or treat them.
This study follows pregnant parents and their child to understand what factors influence early brain and development. It compares families with an autistic sibling (higher risk) to families without (lower risk) to spot patterns that may help future care.
This study looks at genetic diseases that affect the immune system and the brain. It aims to better understand these conditions by comparing patients, their relatives, and healthy controls.
