Pregnancy study tracking how brain development risk may run in families
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tracks babies who are at higher risk of autism or other developmental delays, including those born early, small, or with a sibling who has autism. The goal is to spot early signs and help families get support sooner.
This study looks at parents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their young children, aged 0 to 6 years. It aims to understand their parenting experiences and needs, and includes a control group of parents without psychiatric diagnoses.
This study does brain imaging (brain scans) in babies to better understand early brain development and how factors like family history and COVID-19 might relate to development. It may help researchers learn which babies could need extra support later.
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 uses an MRI scan to better understand brain differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and compares them with their relatives and people without ASD. It mainly helps researchers connect brain findings with genetics and background health information.
