Genomic testing for youth mental health crises with IDD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at genetic (DNA) information to understand mental health crises in youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It may help doctors learn why these crises happen and improve how future families are supported.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child or teen seen in the emergency department for an intellectual or developmental disability
- Be admitted for a mental health crisis such as aggression, severe agitation, self-injury, or running away
- Or, if you’re a parent, you must be able and willing to join for DNA testing to compare results
- Have NOT had whole genome or exome DNA sequencing before
- The research team must be able to talk with you and get consent
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses advanced genetic tests to find the cause of severe intellectual disability or related developmental disorders when standard tests found nothing. If you or your child qualify, the study may provide a clearer diagnosis and help guide care.
This trial uses a new DNA sequencing method that reads long stretches of DNA to find genetic causes of rare diseases. It is for people who have intellectual development disorders or albinism and have not yet gotten a clear genetic diagnosis from standard tests.
This study looks at genes that might change how intellectual disability appears in patients. It uses genetic data already collected to find new clues.
This study looks at genetic-related and blood/biologic markers in people with an inherited (genetic) intellectual disability. The goal is to better understand these differences and how they might relate to the condition.
This study looks at how people’s genetic test results relate to health changes over time in conditions caused by gene differences. If you already have genetic confirmation of a disease-causing variant, you may be able to join.
This study looks at many types of tests (including genetic testing and other lab data) to help understand what may be causing first-time psychosis symptoms in youth. It may help doctors learn more about the condition for future care, and it can involve analyzing family genetic information.
