The Human Trisome Project for Down Syndrome Research
This is an observational study called The Human Trisome Project. It aims to create a collection of biological samples and health information from people with and without Down syndrome. This collection, called a biobank, will help researchers better understand Down syndrome and related health conditions like Alzheimer's disease and heart defects. The study is looking to enroll 2500 participants between 6 months and 89 years old. Success for this study means enrolling enough participants to build a valuable biobank over five years. The current recruitment status is unclear.
