Studying autism brain changes using stem cell models
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses stem-cell models to learn how autism affects brain development. If you have a child with autism and a child without it, your family may be able to help scientists better understand the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
- You have another child without autism (based on a screening questionnaire score below 65) who is at least 2 years old
- Both biological parents are willing to take part
- All family members are covered by a health insurance program (like Social Security or CMU)
- No one in the family has a serious, unstable medical or psychiatric condition that would make participation unsafe
- You are willing to have blood drawn (the study involves a blood test)

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.
This study tests a combination of experimental treatments for children with autism spectrum disorder. It may help if your child has not had stem cell or glutathione therapy before.
This study looks at how genes and environment might cause autism. If you have autism or autism-like traits, or if you are a healthy person without any psychiatric or neurological condition, you may be able to join.
This study uses blood cells to create stem cells for understanding the genes involved in autism. It may help researchers learn more about why autism develops.
This study looks at children with autism to understand patterns over time, using information from past and future records. Your involvement could help researchers learn how different needs may show up and change.
This study uses an MRI scan to better understand brain differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and compares them with their relatives and people without ASD. It mainly helps researchers connect brain findings with genetics and background health information.
