Screen school-age children for ADHD by testing, if feasible, or by electronic health record search. Perform WGS on children as the preferred strategy to identify new genetic associations and confirm previously reported genetic associations. If WGS is not possible, develop a marker panel and test children who have ADHD for known or suspected genetic factors. Follow children by periodic medical evaluations and school performance... more »

This study will focus on women who are pregnant when they enroll, or become pregnant during the study, in order to follow their infants from birth to 8 years of age to determine trajectories of growth over time and identify genomic and epigenomic factors related to development of obesity. Critical to obtaining this information will be the review of Electronic Health Records of providers who have the correct measuring... more »

This study will focus on a subsample of all pregnant women and follow them throughout pregnancy to obtain serial assessments and measurements, including laboratory microbiologic evaluation testing of oral, skin and vaginal specimens. Follow-up would end at delivery of the infant; serial pregnancies would be eligible to re-enroll. Assessments and measures would be used along with health outcomes to determine associations... more »

To study genotype-phenotype correlations, utilize measures targeting the Broader Autism Phenotype: social and communication scales (SRS), Connors Rating Scale for ADHD, ratings of depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), anxiety disorders, & adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) & traumatic life events. Children transitioning to adulthood during the study will have repeat assessment of function and mental health status at a later... more »

Within the US there are numerous people with Down’s Syndrome. Most are overweight or obese. This research study would include finding out why individuals with Down’s are overweight and if it is because of a predisposing factor that cannot be controlled such as genetics or a modification made by the chromosomal editing. It will also look at, what ways we can help those individuals with weight needs. Discovering how individuals... more »

Intensive data collection and analysis including genetic and epigenetic data over time, family history, physical environment (pollution, housing age, etc), social environment (income, household, employment/history, neighborhood, education resources, etc), nutrition, parenting (preparedness, skills, family composition, generational support, etc), early childhood stress, other exposures, demographics; to determine impact... more »

From a diverse sample of children in both clinical and non-clinical settings, investigate genetic contributions to a wide range of neurodevelopmental problems (NPs). Individual-variant and polygenic approaches can advance our understanding of the genetic overlap between, and specificity in, different types of NPs. In a large and diverse sample that includes different racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups, these techniques... more »

This study will focus on women who are pregnant at enrollment or become pregnant during the study and the offspring of observed pregnancies. The information will help to define genetic and epigenetic predictors of long-term effects of common pregnancy complications.

This study will focus on the entire cohort across the reproductive lifespan (ages 12-55) collecting data on fertility (time to conception) and pregnancy loss. Additional data will include factors believed to be indicators of fertility as determined by questionnaire, blood tests, factors believed to negatively impact fertility, and genetic/epigenetic data that together may provide new targets for understanding oocyte depletion,... more »

This study will focus on the entire cohort of children (infants-18 y/o) and will identify those risk factors which predispose children to sepsis. The information will be used to create more precise strategies to identify individuals at highest risk of sepsis and to implement preventive or early treatment therapies that would improve outcomes. The study will also assess the use of adjunctive immunomodulatory therapies... more »

This study will focus on the entire cohort (menarche through lifespan) to collect data on general health and wellbeing as well as detailed pregnancy & delivery histories. Activity level will be monitored, specifying any straining associated with either physical activity or occupation. Genetic/epigenetic factors, such as family history of POP or connective tissue disorders will be obtained, as will data on other currently... more »

Gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are underrepresented in biomedical research. While much relevant data is already planned for collection by AllofUs, additional or elaborated measures (see "data items") would help in seeking new leads and advancing work on pre-existing questions in the field. These items include sociodemographic (e.g., trait information), clinical (various associated conditions), and biological (genomic,... more »

Utilize existing health records, genomic and epigenomic data to identify factors that predispose or are otherwise associated with the conditions of fibromyalgia, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety and depression.

Is there any correlation between nuclear exposure of a parent, through working in a nuclear facility or around radiation, and the diagnosis of chromosome defects in their biological offspring? This data could be collected utilizing existing patient records of children diagnosed with chromosome anomalies and surveying their parents’ exposure to radiation through their military service and employment records.

The NIDCD estimates that age related hearing loss, or presbycusis, affects 1 in 3 individuals in the United States between 65 and 74 years old, and nearly half of those older than 75. Despite this large burden, few genetic risk factors have been identified, and it is unclear how genetics and environment interact to influence hearing loss susceptibility. I propose to measure hearing loss progression in the All of Us cohort,... more »
