NCT ID NCT04471961

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at the DNA of 100 children (and young adults up to age 17) who have cancer, along with the DNA of their healthy parents. The goal is to find genetic changes that may have caused the cancer. By comparing the child's DNA to both parents', researchers hope to discover new inherited risk factors and better understand why some children develop cancer.
