Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a severe, life-long neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with considerable impairment for individuals and a substantial burden to their families and communities. Little is known about the causes or correlates of ASD. While diagnostic practices are improving ASD identification, much remains to be discovered about risk and protective factors for ASD and about the phenotypic variation and prevalence of co-morbid conditions. In response to growing concerns, the Children’s Health Act of 2000 mandated CDC to establish ASD surveillance and research programs that address the magnitude, incidence, and causes of ASD and related developmental disabilities. The Centers for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Research and Epidemiology (CADDREs) were established at six national sites (California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania) to fulfill this mandate and are currently carrying out the second phase of the Study to Explore Early Development (SEED), a population-based case- control study. SEED addresses hypotheses including: ASD phenotypic variation, including clustering of core symptoms, cognitive status, and presence of co-morbidities; gastrointestinal features; genetic variation and gene-environment interaction (GxE); infection, immune function, and autoimmunity factors; and hormonal factors and maternal reproductive characteristics. Data collection includes developmental assessments and pre- and perinatal health and environment via interviews, medical record review, self-administered questionnaires, and biologic samples. As of December 2015, SEED 1 & 2 had completed data collection on 4652 families - 1341 with ASD, 1722 with other developmental disorders, and 1589 controls. This proposal seeks to carry out SEED 3, collecting another 625 children in each study group. This increased, combined sample size will enable well-powered assessment of SEED hypotheses, particularly for phenotypic subgroups and GxE interactions. Given the experience of SEED 1 & 2 and the infrastructure in place at each CADDRE site, SEED 3 can be quickly implemented, creating a combined SEED sample of clinical, risk factor, and biological specimens and data on over 6500 families. SEED would be the largest study of ASD of this kind, making significant contributions to our understanding of the complex autism phenotype and identifying potential risk and protective factors for ASD.

自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）是一种严重的，终身的神经发育障碍， 这对个人造成了相当大的损害，并给他们的家庭和社区带来了沉重的负担。之甚少 了解ASD的原因或相关因素。虽然诊断实践正在改善ASD的识别， 关于ASD的风险和保护因素以及表型变异， 和共病的患病率。为了应对日益增长的关切，2000年《儿童健康法》 要求CDC建立ASD监测和研究计划，解决ASD的严重性，发病率， ASD和相关发育障碍的原因。自闭症和发展中心 在六个国家地点（加州， 科罗拉多、格鲁吉亚、马里兰州、北卡罗来纳州和宾夕法尼亚州）履行这一任务，目前 进行第二阶段的研究，探索早期发展（种子），一个以人口为基础的案例， 对照研究SEED解决的假设包括：ASD表型变异，包括核心 症状、认知状态和合并症的存在;胃肠道特征;遗传变异和 基因-环境相互作用（GxE）;感染，免疫功能和自身免疫因素;和激素 因素和母体生殖特征。数据收集包括发展评估和 产前和围产期健康和环境，通过访谈，医疗记录审查，自我管理， 问卷调查和生物样本截至2015年12月，SEED 1和2已完成以下数据收集： 4652个家庭- 1341个ASD，1722个其他发育障碍，1589个对照。这项建议 寻求进行种子3，收集另外625名儿童在每个研究组。这增加了，结合 样本量将使SEED假设的评估具有良好的效力，特别是对于表型亚组 和GxE相互作用。鉴于SEED 1和2的经验以及每个CADDRE的基础设施 站点，SEED 3可以快速实施，创建临床、风险因素和 超过6500个家庭的生物标本和数据。SEED将是此类ASD的最大研究， 为我们理解复杂自闭症表型做出了重大贡献， 识别ASD的潜在风险和保护因素。
