Scientists hunt for genes behind rare skin condition
NCT ID NCT01630421
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find the genes and genetic changes that cause aplasia cutis congenita (ACC), a rare condition where babies are born with missing patches of skin. Researchers will analyze DNA from 600 people with ACC and their family members. The goal is to better understand the disease, which could lead to improved diagnosis and future treatments.
