Webinar: The Future of SPARK and Autism Research
In this recorded webinar, Dr. Wendy Chung provides an overview of the SPARK study and where autism research is headed.
Learn MoreBecause of SPARK and other research studies throughout the world, we are rapidly learning how genes affect our biology and development. We are also learning how changes to some genes can lead to autism. Read about the latest research on autism genetics and visit with people who have learned about a genetic change associated with their autism.

Learn MoreMotor problems may be more common than intellectual disability.
Learn MoreCaitlin and Chad Calder long suspected that their daughter Della had autism. But they didn’t get an official diagnosis until they learned she had a change in the ASXL3 gene.
Learn MoreCarrie is one of the first SPARK participants to get a genetic result. Her mother, Lynn, says everything has changed and nothing has changed.
Learn MoreIn this webinar, Pamela Feliciano, Ph.D. discusses basic genetic terms and concepts, as well as the impact SPARK, will have on genetic discoveries in autism. This webinar is 60 minutes long.

Learn MoreTo understand the genetics of autism, scientists have to study a lot of people. Pamela Feliciano, Ph.D., SPARK’s scientific director, discusses the challenges of engaging a large group in research.
Learn MoreSHANK3 is one of the genes most commonly linked to autism. Nearly 1 percent of people with autism have changes in this gene.
Learn MoreIn the TIGER study, researchers are searching for common symptoms among people with changes in the same genes.
