Name of Project:
The Impact of Sleep on 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

What we are trying to do:

We aim to understand more about the effect of sleep quality on the symptoms of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome. We hope to understand the impact of sleep on brain function and the immune system. We also want to know whether sleep can be measured using a regular sleep study device or a miniature device.

Who is in charge of the project:
Dr. Makoto Kawai is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Division of Sleep Medicine at Stanford Medicine. His team has worked with more than 100 local families with various neurodevelopmental disorders since 2018. Dr. Kawaiis excited to continue to partner with families and individuals like you.

What we would need from you:

  • Visit the Stanford Main campus in Palo Alto once (2-3 hours) and sleep study at home one night using a regular sleep study device and a miniature EEG device, followed by sleep monitoring for one night using a miniature EEG only.
  • Study procedures will include: polysomnography (PSG) and experimental small electroencephalography (EEG), blood draw before and after sleep, neurocognitive tests, and health questionnaires.

What you get for your time:
If you are eligible and enroll, you will receive $50 for each completed study visit (one office visit, one sleep study, one set of blood draws, and one night of sleep monitoring).

$200 comp for full participation
(hotel stay provided for traveling participants)

If you are eligible and enroll, you will receive $50 for each completed study visit (one office visit, one sleep study, one set of blood draws, and one night of sleep monitoring)
