Guide to participating in research

Introduction

There are many unanswered questions about life with Bohring-Opitz Syndrome (ASXL1), Shashi-Pena Syndrome (ASXL2), and Bainbridge-Ropers Syndrome (ASXL3). We are still working to find treatments that can improve the quality of life for affected individuals and their families. Participation in research studies is vital to providing crucial answers and driving innovation in treatment. Researchers can’t do it alone—they need your help in understanding these rare diseases.

This guide offers an overview of how to participate in research studies, including how to find and enroll in a study, the requirements for enrollment, and the process that follows participation.
