About this trial

Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine seeks to understand the genomes and immune systems in 40 children and adolescents who are admitted to Rady Children's Hospital San Diego with a catatonia diagnosis. Cutting-edge genome and protein sequencing technology will be used to better understand how immunological and genetic assessments may improve the ability to identify the cause of catatonia and impact care. The investigator also hopes to identify new genetic and/or autoimmune causes of catatonia that may inform new treatment for future patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Child/adolescent Ages 0-17 (2) with a diagnosis of catatonia.

Biological parents of child/adolescent enrolled in this study for the purposes of reflex testing. Family members are eligible for participation in this study if they are presumed to be genetically related to a patient participant

Disqualifiers

Already received any prior whole genome sequencing or exome sequencing.

Unable to approach the family or patient for enrollment.

Unable to obtain informed consent.

They are known to not be genetically related to the child/adolescent patient participant

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Genetic: Genomic sequencing and molecular diagnostic results, if any.

    Genetic

    Genomic sequencing results may be used for diagnosis and treatment of participants.

  • Phage display ImmunoPrecipiation Sequencing (PhIP-Seq)

    Diagnostic test

    Whole Proteome programmable phage display immunoprecipitation sequencing will be used to diagnose known and novel autoantibodies.
