Summary

Simons Searchlight collects medical, behavioral, learning, and developmental information from people who have gene changes that are linked to autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The goal of this study is to improve the clinical care and treatment for these people. Simons Searchlight partners with families to collect data and distribute it to qualified researchers.

Description

Simons Searchlight has expanded over the last several years to include additional gene changes and participation through remote formats, either online or by phone. This allows English and Spanish-speaking families from across the world to participate at times that are convenient to their schedule. Participants can donate blood, saliva, or both. These samples are then linked to medical, behavioral, learning, and developmental data in order to understand the effects of specific gene changes.

Information provided by participants will be stripped of any personal identifying information and made available to qualified scientists around the world.

The Simons Foundation, a New York-based private foundation, is committed to finding science-based solutions and working towards the development of targeted treatments to improve the lives of people who have genetic and developmental differences.
