Core Description
The Human Clinical Phenotyping (HCP) Core is designed to build a clinical IDD database for use by IDDRC investigators.
Objectives
- To provide sophisticated phenotyping of participants for RFK-IDDRC investigators, including evaluations of cognition, language, behavior and clinical diagnosis, all performed by our highly qualified clinicians
- To facilitate diversity in research by recruiting from the local Bronx community
- To maintain an extensive research-participant database (currently containing 600-plus children) to service important IDD research endeavors
- To serve as the coordinating hub of the three IDDRC cores that collect human data; indexing when genetic samples are collected by the Neurogenomics Core and when neuroimaging data are collected by the Translational Neuroimaging Core, for a given HCP registrant
- To develop cutting-edge measures of IDD-relevant phenotypes, such as repetitive movements (Dr. Sylvie Goldman) and multisensory processing (Dr. John Foxe)
Services
- Internet-accessible deidentified participant registry database
- Participant recruitment
- Research-grade clinical diagnosis
- Neuropsychological testing
- Evaluation of peripheral and central auditory processing
- Collection of biosamples
- Assistance with IRB applications for studies involving children
