About this trial

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting approximately 1% of the population, characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication. Studies have identified more than 200 genes linked to ASD, particularly those involved in chromatin remodeling and synaptic neuronal connectivity (CHD8, SCN2A, NLGN3-4X, SHANK1-3). The goal of the project is to decipher the biological mechanisms underlying ASD in order to develop therapeutic strategies, using innovative preclinical models such as organoids.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

A child diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder in accordance with clinical practice guidelines

A sibling without an autism spectrum disorder (SRS < 65)

Biological parents

Children and parents must be enrolled in a social security program, Universal Health Coverage (CMU), or an equivalent program.

Disqualifiers

Refusal to undergo a blood test

Uncontrolled (unstabilized) medical condition (including psychiatric conditions) that precludes participation in the study

Sibling with an SRS score > 65 at screening or under 2 years old

Trial population

A child with an autism spectrum disorder, a sibling over the age of 2 who does not have an autism spectrum disorder, and biological parents
