Study of chromosome changes in children with Down syndrome and their parents
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child aged 0 to 18 years.
- Your child has a confirmed diagnosis of Down syndrome through a chromosome test.
- At least one biological parent is willing to have a chromosome test.
- Your child's Down syndrome is not caused by free trisomy 21 or mosaicism (the study is for translocation type only).

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 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 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.
This study includes people of many ages to help researchers learn more about Trisomy (an extra chromosome condition) in those with and without Down syndrome. It may help improve understanding and future care for people affected by chromosome differences.
This study looks at blood test results in children with conditions caused by an extra or missing chromosome, such as Down syndrome. It aims to understand the typical changes in blood counts to help improve care for these children.
This study collects genetic samples from pregnant people who have a higher chance of chromosome changes in the baby. It tests whether taking samples through CVS and/or amniocentesis can help understand the baby’s genetic makeup.
