We encourage parents of a child with intellectual disability (ID) and / or autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to share clinical information on their child via GenIDA: https://genida.unistra.fr/.
GenIDA is an acronym for Genetics of Intellectual Disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorders. It is a family-oriented international online clinical database that collects medically relevant information on individuals with ID and / or ASD.
The information is entered and updated via the parents / families and is crucial for the delineation of the clinical spectrum of many rare and previously unrecognized medical conditions. In fact, the parents are the expert and have answers to many questions. It is up to researchers and clinicians to collect, to summarize, and to interpret the data. By doing so we can describe the full spectrum of clinical features including longitudinal data. This might provide tools for tailor-made clinical follow-up, management protocols and, where possible, appropriate therapy.
