Recruitment completed at Karolinska Institutet
Congratulation to Sven Bölte and Terje Falck-Ytter and the whole team at Karolinska Institutet for completing the recruitment of 10 families for the Multiplex (MPX) study 👏👏👏
This is a big step forward for our the CANDY project and the Multiplex and a great motivation for all other recruitment sites.
A big THANK YOU to the team but most of all to the study participants for your trust in us and our research!
The Multiplex study is the first study to track the heritability of rare genetic risk variants for several neurodevelopmental conditions. Neurodevelopmental conditions likely result from a combination of both rare genetic variants and many common low-risk variants. In this study, we are looking at families with at least 2 children with neurodevelopmental conditions.
As part of the “Horizon 2020” programme, the European Commission is funding the five-year CANDY research project with a total of six million Euro under grant agreement No. 847818.
