We are conducting a research study about visual problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We believe that many children with autism may have undiagnosed eye problems because they cannot explain when they have trouble seeing and may not undergo routine eye exams. We hope to develop a method to screen for visual problems in using a new, non-invasive technology called eye tracking. We will use a camera to record your child’s eye movements as they watch video clips for 15-20 minutes.

We are studying how responses to the rotavirus vaccine are influenced by infant nutrition and other exposures in different areas of the world. The information we get from this study may help us to understand how to best protect infants from rotavirus and other infections.

We are studying the role of gut microbiome diversity on the mucosal and systemic responses to Ty21a vaccine. This is to determine if a given microbiota composition is associated with specific immune responses and to evaluate the impact of an oral typhoid vaccination on the human gut microbiota.

The primary aim of this registry will be to identify genes and/or biologic and environmental factors that either cause these tumors or increase one's risk for developing them. Ultimately, research using this registry may result in improved diagnosis, more effective treatments and possibly prevention.
