Genetic of Intellectual Deficiency and Autism Spectrum Disorders (RaDiCo-GenIDA)
This study, called RaDiCo-GenIDA, is creating an online database to better understand intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders when they are caused by known genetic changes. It's an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving new treatments or medicines. Most of the information will come from families of people with these conditions, who will fill out easy-to-understand online questionnaires. The goal is to collect important details to help doctors tailor care, understand potential health risks, and learn more about how these conditions develop over time. This will lead to more targeted and personal medical care.

ما هو موضوع هذه الدراسة؟
This study, called RaDiCo-GenIDA, wants to learn more about intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) that have a known genetic cause. This means that doctors have already found a specific change in a person's genes that is linked to their condition. The researchers are building an online database where families can share information about their loved ones with these conditions.
The main idea is to gather details that will help doctors provide more personalised care. This includes understanding the specific health problems that might come with certain genetic changes and how different treatments might affect people. By collecting this information from many families, the study hopes to create groups of individuals who share the same genetic change. This will help doctors better understand how the condition progresses over time and what other health issues might be linked to it.
It's important to know that this study is only for people where the genetic cause of their intellectual disability or autism is already known and identified. If the cause is not yet known, this particular study won't be able to include them. The overall aim is to improve our understanding of these genetic conditions and help doctors offer more tailored and effective support.

من قد يكون مؤهلاً؟
To take part in this study, you need to be an adult (18 years or older). We are mainly looking for a parent (mother or father) of someone who has an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder, and for whom the genetic cause of their condition is already known. This includes cases where there's a specific gene change or a known 'copy number variation' – which means a part of a chromosome is either missing or duplicated.
In some cases, if an adult with intellectual disability or autism wishes to and is able to, they can participate directly themselves. The most important thing is that you know what the genetic cause of the condition is. However, there's a small exception: if a person has a known syndrome that typically includes intellectual disabilities or autism, and a genetic test is planned, you might still be able to join if approved by the study's experts.
You also need to be comfortable using the internet to fill out questionnaires. This study is open to people of any age, gender, or with any other health conditions, as long as they meet the main criteria mentioned above. You cannot take part if the genetic cause of the intellectual disability or autism is not yet known (unless you meet that specific exception for a known syndrome where testing is planned).

ماذا يتضمن المشاركة؟
If you decide to take part in this study, you will be asked to complete online questionnaires. These questionnaires are designed by medical experts but are written in a way that is easy for families to understand. You won't need to visit any clinics or doctors for this study, as all the information will be shared online. There are no medications or treatments involved in this study, as it's purely about collecting information. The study doesn't specify a total duration, but it involves filling out questionnaires at certain times. You will be given more details about the exact schedule if you choose to participate.

أسئلة شائعة
What is a 'genetic cause'?
A genetic cause means a specific change in a person's DNA has been identified as the reason for their condition.
هل أحتاج إلى زيارة مستشفى لهذه الدراسة؟
No, you don't need to visit a hospital. All participation involves completing online questionnaires at home.
Can my child take part in the study?
Only adults (18+) can submit information. Parents can provide information about their child, even if the child is under 18.
What if we don't know the genetic cause?
Generally, the study is for those with a known genetic cause. There's a small exception for certain syndromes where genetic testing is planned.
Will this study offer treatment?
No, this is an observational study to collect information, not to provide treatments or medications.
