IGUANa has ongoing recruitment of individuals with neurological disorders, under the approval of the Research Ethics Board of McGill University.
The INVESTICATE study: We recruit patients and their families, where one or more individuals has a neurodevelopmental disorder, such as autism or intellectual disability. We request blood samples and genetic reports for this project, where the aim is to understand what these mutations do by turning blood cells into stem cells, and then into brain cells. We use several genetic tools to try to modify known mutations. If you are interested in participating in the INVESTICATE study, please contact Dr Ernst and look through the consent form below.
