L-serine for GRIN-related neurodevelopmental disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an amino acid supplement called L-serine can help people with GRIN-related neurodevelopmental disorders. These disorders are caused by specific genetic changes that affect brain function, and the study aims to see if L-serine can improve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a GRIN-related neurodevelopmental disorder (caused by a change in the GRIN1, GRIN2A, GRIN2B, or GRIN2D genes).
- Genetic testing must show a specific type of gene change (loss-of-function) that stops the gene from working properly.
- You must be at least 2 years old at the time of screening.
- If you have taken L-serine before, you must be willing to stop taking it for at least one week before the study starts.
- You must not have any serious unstable medical condition (other than epilepsy) or other diseases that could interfere with the study.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and cannot have participated in another drug trial in the past 6 months.
