Clinical Research/Studies
Is there clinical research happening on alpha-thalassemia X-linked intellectual disability syndrome?
Dr. Richard Gibbons and Dr. Doug Higgs are professors and researchers at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. Both have spent over two decades studying alpha-thalassemia X-linked intellectual disability syndrome. Dr. Gibbons' research group was responsible for identifying the ATRX gene and he and Dr. Higgs remain committed to understanding this condition better. Information about their work can be found at this website, with specific information about their research summarized here.
As of June 2019, we are not able to locate any other clinical research happening on alpha-thalassemia X-linked intellectual disability syndrome. However, for a listing of current clinical trials in the United States visit clinicaltrials.gov and search for the condition.

How do I donate money to help research in alpha-thalassemia X-linked intellectual disability syndrome?
There are several organizations that focus on rare genetic diseases, including increasing awareness and funding research. A donation to these organizations will help individuals with alpha-thalassemia X-linked intellectual disability syndrome and other rare genetic diseases. Genetic Alliance is a non-profit health advocacy group that seeks to ensure access to quality genetic services for all individuals. The National Organization for Rare Disorders is another organization that seeks to increase awareness of rare diseases, provide support for families of individuals with rare diagnoses, and helps individuals access the healthcare they need when they have these rare diagnoses.
