Why PRISMA
Prisms are wonderful objects; a simple but elegant piece of glass that can take a single stream of light and transform it into a beautiful spectrum of colors, which can be used to shine light in dark places so that we can better see the way.
That description recapitulates the mission and vision of our Precision Medicine in Autism (PRISMA) group; we aim to understand the unique strengths and challenges of people with autism or other neurodevelopmental conditions in the context of the diverse rare genetic changes that can be found in up to 1 in 3 people with these diagnoses. By bringing together research, clinical care, education, and community engagement, we focus on creating a comprehensive strategy to improve the
healthcare of people with psychiatric conditions stemming from rare genomic disorders. Plus, it highlights our focus on diversity, as “prisma”is the Spanish word for prism!
Our research study "A Genomic Approach to Precision Medicine for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Conditions" is enrolling children and adults who have had diagnostic genetic testing that showed a deletion or a duplication in chromosome 17q12 to understand how genetics can impact their healthcare.
