Observational Study of ADNP Syndrome
This observational study aims to better understand ADNP syndrome, a rare genetic disorder affecting brain development. Researchers are studying individuals with a confirmed change (variant) in the ADNP gene to learn more about how it affects development and behavior. The study will involve various assessments, including developmental, behavioral, and medical evaluations, to characterize the features of ADNP-related neurodevelopmental disorders. You may be able to join if you are at least 2 years old and have a documented pathogenic ADNP gene variant. The main goal is to measure the severity of autism symptoms using a tool called the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) on the first day of assessments. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 30 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning it involves watching and collecting information without providing a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 30 participants.
- What's involved
- Participants will undergo a series of developmental, behavioral, and medical assessments over a three-day period. This includes interviews, psychiatric and neurology evaluations, a genetic evaluation, and sensory assessments like an EEG and eye-tracking. Family members will also provide blood or saliva samples.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint, the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), is measured at Day 1. Further follow-up is not specified.

What this trial measures
- Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS)Day 1
The ADOS is a structured, play-based assessment of communication, social interaction and behavior in individuals (children and adults) suspected of having a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. The examiner will select 1 of 4 different ADOS modules, which differ based on chronological age and verbal fluency, to use for the individual being assessed. An Overall Total score \>= 16, if the individual meets for the "few to no words" algorithm, or 12, if the individual meets for the "some words" algorithm, suggests autism in the individual. An Overall Total score of 11 to 15, if the individual meets for the "few to no words" algorithm, or 8 to 11, if the individual meets for the "some words" algorithm, suggests the individual is on the autism spectrum. An Overall Total score equal to or lower than 10, if the individual meets for "few to no words" algorithm, or 7, if the individual meets for the "some words" algorithm, classifies the individual as "non-spectrum" or not on the spectrum.
