Genetic study of strabismus and certain birth eye-movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of strabismus (eyes that don’t line up) and certain birth conditions that affect eye movement and brainstem/cranial nerves. Your participation may help researchers better understand these conditions and guide future testing and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were born with an eye-movement problem such as strabismus (misaligned eyes)
- Your condition is thought to be related to cranial nerves and brainstem function from birth
- There is not a known, specific genetic syndrome already confirmed (for example, Saethre-Chotzen from a known mutation)
- Your eye/nerve problem is not due to an acquired cause like injury, stroke, tumor, or spinal cord injury

This study looks at genetics in families where eye misalignment (strabismus) and/or constant eye shaking (nystagmus) runs. It may help researchers understand the causes and guide future testing or treatments.
This study looks at children with epilepsy and movement disorders to better understand the genes involved. It aims to help doctors recognize and treat these conditions more effectively.
This study is creating a registry to track the health of people who have specific genetic changes that cause epilepsy and uncontrolled movements (dyskinesia). It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they change over time.
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.
This study looks at genes in people with inherited eye conditions and in close family members who may or may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand what causes these eye diseases and how they might be better studied in the future.
This study looks at eye features in people with craniosynostosis (a condition where skull bones fuse too early). It may help doctors better understand eye problems that can occur with this condition.
