Better understanding chromosome changes in children with developmental disorders
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses a new technique called optical mapping to better understand chromosome changes found in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. It aims to give clearer answers to families about these genetic findings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 20 years old.
- They are followed at Robert Debré Hospital for a neurodevelopmental disorder (like autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability).
- They have had a DNA microarray test (ACPA) that found a chromosome change that was hard to interpret (like a duplication or complex rearrangement).
- Your child has medical insurance.

This study uses advanced DNA analysis to understand confusing genetic test results in people with brain or nerve diseases. It aims to improve diagnosis by reclassifying uncertain genetic findings.
This study looks at DNA patterns in fetuses or children with rare genetic conditions. It aims to better understand how these patterns relate to diseases that start before birth, which could help with diagnosis and future care.
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.
This study tests the chromosomes of children with birth defects or developmental delays to find genetic causes. It may help families understand why their child has these conditions.
This study looks at a specific type of chromosome change called a translocation in children with Down syndrome and their parents. It aims to understand how often this change happens and how it is passed down, which may help families understand the genetic cause.
This study re-checks earlier genetic testing for people who still do not have a diagnosis for a developmental or physical difference. It may offer new genetic testing (like genome sequencing) using new or stored samples to help find a cause when the first results were unclear or negative.
