NCT ID NCT05272319
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study collected blood or saliva samples from 213 people with rare liver diseases to extract and store their DNA. The goal was to create a genetic resource that scientists can use in future studies to explore the causes, biomarkers, and genetic factors of these conditions. Participants were children and adults previously enrolled in other liver disease research studies.
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 DNA repository could help researchers better understand the genetic causes of rare liver diseases and identify new biomarkers or treatment targets.
What could go wrong
This is a sample collection study, not a treatment trial. It does not test any therapy, and the DNA resource may or may not lead to future medical advances.
