NIH launches major family study to unlock secrets of childhood behavioral disorders

NCT ID NCT01778504

Summary

This study aims to better understand childhood behavioral, psychiatric, and developmental disorders by observing affected individuals and their family members. Researchers will examine up to 1,000 people of all ages with conditions like autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders, plus their relatives, to learn how these conditions run in families. The information gathered will help doctors identify patterns and develop better future treatments, but this study itself does not test new treatments.
