Trial Now Recruiting: Evaluation of Socio-professional Inclusion for Young Adults Aged 15-25 Living With a Rare Genetic Disability (NCT07527624)

Researchers are looking for young adults ages 15-25 with rare genetic disabilities to join a study about getting jobs and education. The study will follow 300 participants and examine the challenges these young people face when trying to go to school, get internships, or find work. Many young people with rare genetic diseases struggle with these opportunities because of their condition and lack of support.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial directly addresses employment and education barriers that young adults with rare genetic disabilities face — areas where they typically have the fewest resources and support.

Trial Now Recruiting: Optical Imaging in X-linked Disorders. (NCT06868979)

Researchers are looking for 88 people with Fragile X Syndrome or Creatine Transporter Deficiency to test a new imaging technology that can see how the brain works. Both of these are genetic conditions that affect how the brain develops and cause intellectual disability. This study might help doctors better understand and diagnose these conditions in the future.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is recruiting patients with two of the most common X-linked intellectual disability disorders and may provide a new diagnostic tool that could improve how these conditions are identified and monitored.
