: This study was approved by the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) institutional review board (IRB) in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki of 1964. Individuals evaluated for DSRD in clinical care were enrolled into a prospective observational natural history study where these data were systematically tracked and stored in a database. Given that symptoms of DSRD are neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric in nature, informed consent was obtained from parents or guardians in all circumstances as no individual had capacity to consent for this study. Assent was obtained when possible and waived when neurocognitive impairment was too profound for the patient to reasonably assent. Individuals required enrollment at the primary site (CHLA) but could have follow-up at other sites if endpoint measures could be completed in the necessary timeframe.
