About this trial
Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine seeks to understand the genomes and immune systems in 40 children and adolescents who are admitted to Rady Children's Hospital San Diego with a catatonia diagnosis. Cutting-edge genome and protein sequencing technology will be used to better understand how immunological and genetic assessments may improve the ability to identify the cause of catatonia and impact care. The investigator also hopes to identify new genetic and/or autoimmune causes of catatonia that may inform new treatment for future patients.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Child/adolescent Ages 0-17 (2) with a diagnosis of catatonia.

Disqualifiers
Already received any prior whole genome sequencing or exome sequencing.
Unable to approach the family or patient for enrollment.
Unable to obtain informed consent.
They are known to not be genetically related to the child/adolescent patient participant
