Scientists hunt for Eye-Misalignment genes in families

NCT ID NCT04770519

First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looks for genes that may cause strabismus (crossed or misaligned eyes) and nystagmus (shaky eyes). Researchers will collect DNA from families with at least three members who have strabismus, or from individuals with infantile esotropia or nystagmus and their close relatives. The goal is to find shared genetic variants, not to test a treatment.
