15q13.3 CNVs

This project at Bradley Hospital, Hasbro Children’s Hospital, and Brown University is looking to understand how genetic information, specifically rare genetic changes, of people with autism and other neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions can inform healthcare. We want to see how genetic results could be used in the future to inform medication choice, behavioral interventions, educational interventions, and identification and treatment of other medical conditions that may impact mental health. We will be enrolling individuals with autism or other neurodevelopmental or psychiatric conditions for whom a genetic variant has been identified as the underlying cause, such as 15q13.3 CNVs.

position designated q13.3.
