NCT ID NCT07165938
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the genes of 300 infants who had brain injury around birth (neonatal encephalopathy) and their parents. Researchers want to find out if genetic differences explain why some babies have mild symptoms while others have severe long-term problems. The study does not test a treatment, but aims to improve understanding and future care.
