Biobank for Down Syndrome Research

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The Human Trisome Project aims to enhance Down syndrome research by creating a biobank that provides de-identified biological samples and health information to approved researchers. Participants will undergo a blood draw, mouth swab, and allow researchers to access their health information annually for up to five years. Optional procedures include providing urine and/or stool samples and extending participation beyond five years. This initiative seeks to improve understanding of Down syndrome and related medical conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and congenital heart defects.
