Genetic Study of Intellectual Disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorders

The Weill Cornell Medical College is enrolling families with children older than 12 months of age with unknown types of intellectual disabilities or autistic spectrum disorders to participate in a study to identify the factors that are associated with these conditions. The study involves about 3 to 5 hours of time. The study will include a detailed clinical evaluation including neuropsychological testing, completion of a questionnaire, and blood drawing. Families can be seen at either our New York City, NY site or our Hackensack, NJ site. There is a $35 voucher for parking available for families that travel via car and a $25 gift certificate. Families will also receive free admission to a future educational symposium.

The Autism Tissue Program (ATP) is national outreach and education program that promotes donor awareness among professionals and families of the critical need for brain tissue for research. Its primary mission is to accelerate autism spectrum disorders research by providing approved scientists access to postmortem brain tissue.
