Can DNA predict transplant trouble in kids?

NCT ID NCT07194057

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study will analyze the DNA and chemical marks on DNA of 200 children who have had a liver or kidney transplant. Researchers want to find genetic clues that might explain why some children develop serious complications like organ rejection, infections, or cancer after transplant. No extra procedures are needed—samples are taken during routine care. The goal is to better predict and manage these risks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Whole genome sequencing and methylation analysis

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors predict and prevent complications after a child's organ transplant, improving long-term outcomes.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is small (200 children) and early, so findings may not apply to all transplant patients.
