Fast Facts
Ages 12 Months to 12 Years
No Eye Conditions
Compensation Provided
Conducted in Los Angeles, CA
Study Background
Researchers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles want to learn more about visual function in children with genetic disorders involving chromosome 15 (Angelman syndrome and 15q duplication syndrome).
For this research study, we are looking for healthy pediatric volunteers to help us better understand visual perception and processing. Comparing the differences between children with 15q disorders and healthy volunteer children may help develop better treatments for children with this genetic condition.
This study involves one in-person visit to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, which participants can expect to last approximately one hour. Participating children will complete various assessments with a pediatric ophthalmologist including vision assessments and questionnaires.
