Genetic of Intellectual Deficiency and Autism Spectrum Disorders (RaDiCo-GenIDA)

Plain-language summary
The aim of this observational study is to develop an alternative database model for genetically originated intellectual disabilities. This model will take the form of an online cohort study, where the majority of clinical information will be provided by the families of the patients. Questionnaires developed by professionals but formulated in a way understandable to families will be used to gather this information.
Specifically, this study aims to collect relevant information for personalized medical management. This includes understanding the risks of specific pathological complications and potential iatrogenic effects of symptomatic treatments. The primary goal is to establish groups of individuals with intellectual disabilities and/or autism spectrum disorders (ASD) sharing the same genetic mutation. This approach will provide a better understanding of the natural history of the disease and associated comorbidities.
It is important to note that this project will only focus on patients for whom the identification of the causal mutation or penetrant copy number variation (CNV) has been determined. It excludes individuals for whom the cause of intellectual disability is unknown.
This approach will contribute to a better understanding of the genetic aspects of intellectual disabilities and ASD, while facilitating more targeted and personalized medical care for the affected patients.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Be a voluntary adult (aged 18 or older)
* Be a family member (i.e., mother/father) of patients with intellectual disabilities and/or autism spectrum disorders of known genetic origin. This includes monogenic causes as well as recurrent copy number variations (CNVs) such as deletions or duplications. Note: we also allow adult patients to participate directly if they wish and have the capacity to do so.
* Have knowledge of the genetic cause behind intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders. An exception to this rule is possible for patients with a syndrome that includes intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders, and for whom genetic investigation is considered, with the approval of the project's scientific council (which will define the syndromes eligible for this exception).
* Have the intellectual and material capabilities to complete an internet questionnaire.
* Have read the information sheet regarding the study and agreed to the general conditions of participation in the study.
There are no restrictions based on age, gender, or potential comorbidities of the individual themselves.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients affected by the presence of intellectual disability and/or an autism spectrum disorder of unknown genetic origin will not be able to participate in the study, except with the exception mentioned in the previous chapter.
* It is requested that only adults enter data. However, the collected data may pertain to a minor…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
