NCT ID NCT05681923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 1,200 families who already have a child with autism (high-risk group) and 500 families from the general population (low-risk group) starting from early pregnancy. Researchers collect biological samples and survey data to explore how genetics, environment, diet, and lifestyle may influence the development of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Children are monitored until age 6, when diagnoses can be reliably made.
