Can brain scans predict developmental disorders? new study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT06367920
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at brain MRI scans and genetic information from 2000 children (healthy and with developmental delays) to create computer models that can predict developmental disorders. The goal is to find patterns in brain structure and genes that explain these conditions. No new treatments are being tested—this is about improving understanding and diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better tools for early detection of developmental disorders in children using brain scans and genetics.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study that only looks at existing data. It does not test any treatment, so it may not directly help patients. The models may not be accurate enough for real-world use.
