About

This project is structured around a central study called "Study of genetic factors involved in autism and related conditions ("Genes and Autism" study, sponsor: INSERM). This study explores clinical and genetic aspects of ASD (autism spectrum disorders) and is complemented with several ancillary studies (such as this one) which will use the data of the main study and will allow an extensive review of phenotypes associated with ASD.

In this ancillary study, we will go on the acquisition of anatomical, diffusion and functional MRI in subjects with ASD, relatives and controls. Our group has already performed several neuroanatomical studies of ASD. IWe recruited since 2010 more than 600 subjects (proponents, relatives and controls) to better understand the implication of brain abnormalities in ASD.

This study involves specialized teams in neuroiamging based at INSERM, NeuroSpin (CEA), Robert Debré Hospital (APHP) and Pasteur Institute

Our main objective is to identify structural, connectivity and functional peculiarities in subjects with ASD

Secondary objectives include:

  • the identification of familial heritability patterns of ASD
  • correlate data obtained in brain imaging with genetic data
  • assess specificity and statistical reproducibility of the obtained results

Non-inclusion criteria:

  • for all subjects

    • severe mental retardation (IQ<35 or developmental age<18 months)
    • medical condition (either psychiatric or physical) not compatible with an inclusion
    • MRI counter indication
    • Current pregnancy or breastfeeding, assessed by questionnaire
    • Not willing to be informed of a brain abnormality diagnosed with MRI
  • for the relatives

    *discovery of non filiation during the genetic analyses

  • for controls

    • Neurological history (except mental retardation)
    • Personal history of (checked with DIGS for Adults, Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies, Numberger et coll., 1994, or Kiddie SADS, Kiddie Schedule for Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children, Orvaschel et coll., 1982): schizophrenia, addiction, bipolar disorder, recurrent depression (> 2 episodes lifetime), severe, not stabilized anxiety disorder, history of episodes of epilepsy, significant inflammatory disease of immunosuppressive medication

Exclusion criteria
