Principal Investigator:Louis Kunkel
Trial Description:Participation in this research study involves two research visits, one in your home and one at Children’s Hospital Boston. The first visit lasts about 4-6 hours. On this visit your child will work with a research assistant on a few different cognitive assessments while one or both parents answer interview questionnaires about your child’s development, along with other family history information. The second visit at the hospital lasts about 2 and a half hours and involves height and weight measurements and a blood draw from each family member. In addition, we will take a 3-D picture of your child’s face. This procedure is completely non-invasive and uses no radiation. Shortly after the visits, participants will receive a research report of our observations. These results include cognitive, behavioral, developmental, and social findings. Participants will come to Children's Hospital Boston for 6 to 8 hours, split over two separate visits.
