NCT ID NCT06073171

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is looking for the gene or genes that cause cutis tricolor, a rare skin condition with patches of different colors. Researchers will analyze DNA from blood and skin samples of 10 patients and their parents. The goal is to find genetic changes that might explain the condition, which could help in understanding it better.

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 identify the genetic cause of cutis tricolor, potentially pointing toward future diagnostic or therapeutic targets.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage genomic study with only 10 participants. It may not find a clear genetic link, and any findings would need much more research before leading to treatments.
