Genetics of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study collects information about people with intellectual disabilities or autism that have a known genetic cause. Parents or family members can enter data about their child, and adults with the condition can also share their own experiences.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You can be a parent or family member of someone with intellectual disability or autism that has a known genetic cause.
- Adult patients who have the condition and know their genetic cause can also join directly.
- You need to be comfortable filling out an online questionnaire.
- You must have read the study information and agreed to the terms.

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 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 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.
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 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 genetic changes found in people with conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, or autism, and compares how those genetic differences may function. It may help researchers understand the causes of these conditions using information from patients and their relatives.
