Gene link to newborn lung risk from common painkillers under investigation
NCT ID NCT00710177
First seen Jan 26, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looks at whether small, natural differences in a gene called PTGS-1 make some babies more likely to develop a serious lung condition (PPHN) if their mothers took over-the-counter pain medicines like ibuprofen during pregnancy. Researchers will compare 200 newborns—some with PPHN and some healthy—to see if the gene variation is more common in affected babies. The goal is to understand risk factors, not to test a new treatment.
