NCT ID NCT01915797
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed study collected information from nearly 1,000 children who had both cancer and developmental abnormalities like birth defects or growth issues. The goal was to find new genetic syndromes that make children more likely to develop cancer. Researchers analyzed blood and tumor samples to understand the underlying causes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify new genetic syndromes that make children more likely to develop cancer, leading to earlier detection and better monitoring.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly benefit participants, and identifying new syndromes does not guarantee improved outcomes.
