“Dear Families,

This is a brief update on the Communication abilities in Children with Genetic Conditions study.

The Communication abilities in Children with Genetic Conditions study collected parent-reported data on communication ability from 113 families and direct speech and language data from 33 children. Data collection has now closed and research reports are in preparation for the three most successfully recruited conditions; KBG syndrome, SYNGAP1-related disorder, and differences in MED13L. While the study was initially open to a wider group of single-gene conditions, it was only possible to recruit full data sets and large enough samples to produce high quality research reports for these three conditions. While not all of the data collected from families will be included in the research publications, all of the data provided by families has been extremely valuable to the study. Where permission has been given, anonymised data will serve as valuable pilot data to support future funding applications for research on relevant gene conditions.

We thank all families for their valued time and participation in the project. Further updates will share our research reports as they become available.

With best wishes,

Harriet and the Communication abilities in Children with Genetic Conditions study team.”
