Study genes in autism and related conditions using blood samples
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks for genetic reasons for autism by collecting blood samples from people with autism, people without autism, and their relatives. The results may help researchers better understand causes and risk factors, even if you only participate through testing a sample.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or the person you’re asking for) must be at least 24 months old
- You must be able to do a blood test safely (health and development are compatible with blood draw)
- You must have the right type of consent (your signature, or a parent/guardian’s signature if needed)
- If it’s the autism group, your diagnosis must match standard autism testing and expert clinical agreement
- You must have social insurance in France to be eligible

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 the genetic and molecular profiles of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to better understand the condition and find new treatments. It compares children with ASD who have no known genetic cause to those with a specific genetic syndrome.
This study looks for biological “signals” in blood—related to the immune system and metabolism—to better understand conditions like autism and other brain or development-related disorders. It may help researchers find markers that could guide future diagnosis or treatment.
This study looks at how people with autism (and some without autism) react during a routine blood test. Researchers will watch and measure behavior and body responses to better understand distress and comfort during needle procedures.
This is an early-stage study exploring a new experimental treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers will work with your child and family to test whether this approach is safe and how it might help with autism symptoms.
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.
