This project will support cross-community stakeholder engagement across CSNK2A1-related and CSNK2B-related neurodevelopmental disorder communities, including development of a shared comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) agenda, a stakeholder-informed research lexicon, and future patient-centered research priorities.
