New study to uncover hidden genetic carriers of down syndrome in families
NCT ID NCT07175168
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at 230 children with Down syndrome and their parents to find out how many have a rare form called translocation Down syndrome. Researchers will use blood tests to check if parents carry a balanced translocation that can be passed down. The goal is to better understand how often this happens and improve family planning advice.
