NCT ID NCT03718923

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at people who have changes in a gene called FOXP1, which can cause developmental delays, speech problems, and autism-like traits. Researchers will use interviews, play-based assessments, and genetic tests to better understand these conditions. The goal is to learn more, not to test a treatment. About 50 people aged 2 and older with a confirmed FOXP1 gene change can join.
