Study genetic and blood markers in people with inherited intellectual disability
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your parent or legal representative received the study information, understood it, and signed consent for research samples
- You are covered by a social security plan (have social security benefits)
- You are not pregnant, and you are not currently nursing (breastfeeding)

This study looks at how genetics and gene-regulation (how genes turn on and off) differ between close family members who have different Down syndrome status. Researchers hope the findings will help explain why Down syndrome outcomes can vary even in very closely related people.
This study uses advanced genetic analysis to find the cause of unexplained severe intellectual disability or developmental disorders. It may help identify a diagnosis and guide care, even when standard genetic tests have been negative.
This study looks for genes that might change how an intellectual disability shows up. If you've had exome sequencing at Bordeaux University Hospital, you might be able to help researchers learn more.
This research study aims to better understand Down syndrome by collecting health information, family history, and sometimes brain imaging or sleep data from children and adults with Down syndrome and their families. The goal is to advance knowledge that could improve health and development for people with Down syndrome.
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.
This trial uses advanced DNA testing to look for the genetic causes of certain rare diseases, including some intellectual development disorders and albinism. It may help people who haven't gotten a clear genetic answer from standard testing.
