New DNA reader could crack unsolved rare disease cases

NCT ID NCT07400913

First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tests a new DNA sequencing method that reads long stretches of DNA to find hidden genetic changes causing rare diseases like albinism and intellectual disability. Researchers will analyze stored blood or DNA from 150 patients who haven't gotten a clear diagnosis yet. The goal is to see if this approach can detect methylation abnormalities (epimutations) that standard tests miss, potentially reducing diagnostic dead ends.
