: Samples and associated data collected through the Prenatal Infection and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Consortium were IRB approved by participating institutions and by Children’s National Hospital (IRB reference number 8259). Any changes to the protocol or materials are submitted for approval by the IRB/CEP before being implemented, through amendments to the project. The research team notifies the IRB/CEP of deviations from the protocol or any adverse events that might be related to the present study. Brazilian studies were also approved by CONEP (approval numbers of the original related projects: CAAEs: 61936216.9.0000.5404; 56673616.3.2002.5440; 61936216.9.0000.5404). The researchers ensured that this study was conducted in full compliance with the principles set out in the Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research by the US National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects in Biomedical and Behavioral Research (18 April 1979) and encoded in 45 CFR Section 46 or the ICH E6; 62 Federal Regulations 25691 (1997). The Investigators’ institution must maintain an up-to-date, federal-level policy (FWA) issued by the Office of Human Protection in Research for US government-funded research. Both multi-center and site-specific IRB approvals were obtained in one of in two ways. A majority of the studies obtained informed consent for genetic testing prospectively. In some cases, informed consent was obtained retrospectively.
