asperger syndrome (AS) sib pair project
 

Asperger Syndrome (AS) Sib Pair Project

This new study involves collecting a DNA sample and a questionnaire from individuals with Asperger Syndrome and their biological brothers and sisters. Providing a DNA sample is quick, easy and a completely painless process - cotton buds are wiped inside the cheek.

You are, of course, under no obligation to participate, but if you do take part you may leave the study at any time without any need to give a reason.

This study has the approval of the UK Multi Regional Ethics Committee. All data are held in strictest confidence for this study alone.

If you are a parent of a child diagnosed with AS who is aged under 16 years please click here for more information about how your child can participate.

If you are an adult diagnosed with AS please click here for more information about how you can participate
