Welcome, Canadian Simons Simplex Families!

Canadian flagAt McGill University, you shared information about your child’s behavioral profile, developmental history, and autism spectrum diagnosis. You also contributed family genetic samples to create a vital resource for autism science.

Now, the Simons Foundation and the Interactive Autism Network (IAN) have partnered to create the Simons Simplex Community @ Interactive Autism Network (SSC@IAN) – the project’s new online home and continuation.

Due to current limitations of the separate IAN Research project, only U.S. families are eligible to join the online research aspect of  SSC@IAN for now, but a representative from McGill University will be in touch soon to explain the project, and to share developments as we explore how to expand the network to include Canadian families. They will also invite you to sign up for an SSC@IAN e-newsletter that will report on advances and discoveries made possible thanks to your family's participation in the Simons Simplex Collection.

If you have any questions, contact the SSC@IAN Research Coordinator, Tara Zandi, at 443-923-4153 or SSC@IANproject.org.
