Genetics and autism: a study of the omic profile
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must have a confirmed diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on DSM-5 criteria.
- Must be between 3 and 15 years old.
- A parent or legal guardian must sign a consent form agreeing to participate.
- Must not have a known genetic diagnosis or strong signs of a syndrome (like certain facial features, birth defects, or issues affecting two or more body systems).
- Must be willing to have a blood sample collected.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study looks for biological “signals” in blood—related to the immune system and metabolism—to better understand conditions like autism and other brain or development-related disorders. It may help researchers find markers that could guide future diagnosis or treatment.
This trial studies differences in the gut bacteria (microbiome) between children with autism and healthy children. It may help researchers understand what roles the gut may play in autism and guide future treatments.
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 is an early-stage study exploring a new experimental treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers will work with your child and family to test whether this approach is safe and how it might help with autism symptoms.
