Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to provide qualified and approved researchers with access to biological samples and health information to answer specific research questions. This project will significantly increase the speed of Down syndrome research and the understanding of associated medical conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, congenital heart defects, autoimmune disorders, autism, and some forms of leukemia.
Participation includes a blood draw, a mouth swab, and allowing researchers to look at your health information yearly for the next 5 years. Optional procedures include providing a urine and/or stool sample and taking part in the study for a longer time frame.

Controls People aged 6 months to 89 years old who do not have trisomy 21. These persons can be related to someone with some form of trisomy 21 but do not have to be related. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants and Controls Enrolled in Biobank [5 years]
Create biobank of blood cells and plasma, saliva, mouth swab, urine, stool, and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) cells for use in approved research projects.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of Clinical Records Available for Approved Research Purposes [5 years]
Create a database of clinical information to pair with biological samples listed above.
- Multidimensional Sample Characterization [5 years]
Characterize biological samples with multidimensional cellular and molecular analyses to generate the most thoroughly characterized set of samples from individuals with Down syndrome in the world.
