NCT ID NCT06595940
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study aims to find genetic causes of rare diseases in children aged 2 to 18 who live outside the United States and have limited access to genetic testing. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, or cheek swab samples from affected children and their family members. The goal is to use advanced genomic techniques to identify disease-causing gene variants and improve understanding of these conditions.
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 could help identify genetic causes of rare diseases in underserved populations, leading to better diagnosis and potential future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find genetic causes for all participants, and results may not lead to immediate therapies.
