Saliva genetic test for developmental disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a simple saliva sample can find the genetic cause of developmental disorders when standard blood tests haven't. It aims to offer a less invasive way to get answers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child have a neurodevelopmental or intellectual disability
- A previous blood-based genetic test (trio) did not find a cause
- You are willing to provide a saliva sample
- You are covered by French health insurance
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

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 is looking for people with rare, unexplained conditions that cause early intellectual disability and low muscle tone. Researchers want to study your cells and blood to try to find new genetic causes that standard DNA tests missed.
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 uses a new, advanced DNA sequencing method to look for a specific type of genetic change (called 'repeat expansion') that may cause neurological disorders. The goal is to help people who have a neurological condition but whose standard genetic tests did not find the cause.
This study uses a special DNA test (trio exome sequencing) on a child or young adult and their two biological parents to look for a genetic cause of language and learning difficulties. If a genetic reason is found, it may help explain the cause and guide future care.
This study tests a safer blood test to check for certain genetic disorders during pregnancy, instead of an invasive procedure like amniocentesis. It's for pregnant women who are at risk of passing on a known genetic condition.
