Genetics study for children with catatonia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at the genes of children and teens with catatonia to understand why it happens and find better treatments. If your child has catatonia, you and your child may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 0 and 17 years old and has been diagnosed with catatonia.
- Your child has not had whole genome or exome sequencing before.
- You are a biological parent of the child and are willing to participate.
- The family can be approached and can give informed consent.

This study looks at how often catatonic syndrome occurs in adults treated at Basurto Hospital, what other conditions it's linked to, and what happens in the short term. It helps doctors better understand this serious condition.
This study uses trio genome sequencing (comparing DNA from you and both of your parents) to find genetic causes for psychiatric disorders that start early, are hard to treat, or have an unusual pattern. It may help if you or your child have a mental health condition without intellectual disability or birth defects.
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.
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 study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of epilepsy in children. It may help your family better understand what could be driving seizures, even if the cause isn’t known yet.
This study uses a new DNA reading method to find hidden genetic causes of dystonia. It is for people with dystonia who had standard genetic testing that did not find a cause.
