Scientists hunt for genetic clues to rare childhood disease
NCT ID NCT04100408
Summary
This study aims to understand why some children develop Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare disorder where immune cells build up in the body. Researchers are analyzing DNA from children with LCH and their parents to identify inherited genetic variations that might increase disease risk. The study also explores how genetic ancestry might influence the specific mutations found in LCH cells.
