Researchers track rare genetic disorders to prepare for future treatments
NCT ID NCT06555965
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is observing 600 people of any age with STXBP1 or SYNGAP1 gene mutations to better understand how these disorders affect development, seizures, and quality of life. No treatment is given; instead, researchers will collect data from routine clinical assessments over time. The goal is to gather information needed to design future clinical trials for potential therapies.
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 study will provide crucial data to design future clinical trials for treatments for STXBP1 and SYNGAP1 related disorders.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no treatment being tested, so it will not directly improve symptoms. Results depend on consistent participation and data collection over time.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female of any age. * Presence of a STXBP1 or SYNGAP1 gene mutation. The variant in STXBP1 or SYNGAP1 must be classified as causative based on clinical and variant classification criteria. Historical documentation is sufficient to support eligibility for the study. Confirmatory testing will be obtained, if necessary, at baseline and performed by a CLIA certified laboratory. Exclusion Criteria: * The presence of a confirmed mutation in a gene other than STXBP1 or SYNGAP1 that is known to contribute to a neurodevelopmental disability. This includes full gene deletions of STXBP1 or SYNGAP1 that include other genes beyond STXBP1 or SYNGAP1. * The presence of a significant non-STXBP1-RD or non-SYNGAP1-RD related central nervous impairment/behavioral disturbance that would confound the scientific rigor or interpretation of results of the study. * History of intraventricular hemorrhage, structural brain deficit or congenital heart disease * The presence of a clinical comorbidity deemed by the investigator to potentially confound the typical presentation of STXBP1-RD or SYNGAP1-RD. * Pregnant women or females of age of menarche who are found to be pregnant upon urine pregnancy testing.
