People with Down syndrome develop certain medical conditions, like Alzheimer’s disease and autoimmune conditions, more often than the general population, yet they seem to be protected from some cancers and other common conditions. In 2018, the NIH launched the INCLUDE Project to help understand why.

CHOP’s Center for Data Driven Discovery in Biomedicine (D3b) has set out on a new research endeavor, in partnership with the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Sage Bionetworks. Supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the INCLUDE Data Coordinating Center (DCC) is developing a free-to-use tool called the INCLUDE Data Hub.

The INCLUDE Data Hub will bring information and resources from many sources together in one place. With these tools, scientists and community members can work together more easily. And rare conditions within the Down syndrome community can be studied faster than ever before.

On October 1, the INCLUDE DCC launched its website to provide additional information and updates on the development of this resource. Visit them at includedcc.org
