Saliva test for genetic causes of neurodevelopmental disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a simple saliva sample to look for genetic causes of neurodevelopmental or intellectual developmental disorders when standard testing hasn't found an answer. It aims to help find a diagnosis where previous blood tests were inconclusive.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a neurodevelopmental or intellectual developmental disorder that is likely genetic.
- Previous genetic testing on you and your parents (trio genome sequencing) did not find a cause.
- You are willing to provide a saliva sample for testing.
- You are not pregnant or nursing.
- You are not currently participating in another study or registered in a national volunteer registry.
- You have health insurance (social security system).

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 tests whether a saliva sample can help tell the difference between brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and related conditions. By using a special laser technique, researchers hope to find a quick, non-invasive way to make an earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
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 trial is collecting saliva samples from people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other brain diseases to find new ways to diagnose them. It may help improve early detection.
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.
