Studying genes in neurodevelopmental disorders with birth defects
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study is for children or adults with neurodevelopmental conditions and unusual physical features, where standard genetic tests haven't found a cause. Researchers will use RNA and DNA sequencing to look for hidden genetic explanations, which could guide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must have a neurodevelopmental disorder with intellectual disability, developmental delays, autism, or ADHD.
- Must have physical differences or birth defects (dysmorphism or developmental anomalies).
- Previous genetic tests (like CMA or exome) must have been negative (no cause found).
- Must be willing to provide a skin biopsy or already have a sample available.
- Must be able to give consent (parent/guardian for minors or adults unable to consent).
- Must be affiliated with French national health coverage or equivalent.

This study is looking for people with rare, unexplained conditions that cause early intellectual disability and low muscle tone. Researchers want to study your cells and blood to try to find new genetic causes that standard DNA tests missed.
This study uses advanced long-read DNA sequencing to find hidden genetic causes of neurological diseases. It may help people who have a known repeat expansion or those with an unexplained neurological condition and willing family members.
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 uses genome (DNA) sequencing to look for the genetic cause of rare disorders, especially when the cause is unknown. It may help some families better understand what is driving the condition, using genetic information from the affected person and often their parents.
This study uses a new genetic technique to find hidden causes in people with multiple birth defects or intellectual disability who had standard genetic tests come back normal. It might help identify a genetic reason when other tests did not.
This study uses a special DNA test (trio exome sequencing) on a child or young adult and their two biological parents to look for a genetic cause of language and learning difficulties. If a genetic reason is found, it may help explain the cause and guide future care.
