NCT ID NCT01247597
Summary
This study aims to learn about a rare genetic condition called DICER1 syndrome, which increases the risk for several rare cancers, especially in children. Researchers are enrolling 1,500 people who have these cancers or are close relatives, to collect family histories, medical records, and genetic samples. The goal is to understand how the condition is inherited, what health problems it causes, and to create guidelines for better monitoring and care in the future.
