Genome sequencing for unusual psychiatric conditions
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses trio genome sequencing (comparing DNA from you and both of your parents) to find genetic causes for psychiatric disorders that start early, are hard to treat, or have an unusual pattern. It may help if you or your child have a mental health condition without intellectual disability or birth defects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a psychiatric disorder diagnosed by a psychiatrist.
- Your condition started at an unusually young age, has a strange pattern, is hard to treat with medication, or is listed as 'unspecified' with major daily impact.
- You are between 3 and 50 years old.
- Both of your biological parents are alive and can take part, and all of you sign a consent form.
- You have never had genetic testing for this condition before (like CGH array or gene panels).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses advanced genetic analysis to find the cause of unexplained severe intellectual disability or developmental disorders. It may help identify a diagnosis and guide care, even when standard genetic tests have been negative.
This study uses a new genetic technique to find hidden causes in people with multiple birth defects or intellectual disability who had standard genetic tests come back normal. It might help identify a genetic reason when other tests did not.
This study looks for a genetic (DNA) explanation for rare diseases when usual genetic testing hasn’t found an answer. It may help by re-analyzing prior results and comparing them with parents’ DNA to better pinpoint the cause.
This study is trying to find the gene or body-process cause of rare diseases (or rare forms of common diseases) when the reason is not yet understood. If you qualify, you may be asked to give genetic and health information that could help doctors diagnose and understand the condition better.
This study re-checks earlier genetic testing for people who still do not have a diagnosis for a developmental or physical difference. It may offer new genetic testing (like genome sequencing) using new or stored samples to help find a cause when the first results were unclear or negative.
