First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study aims to better understand vascular stains (a type of birthmark) by looking at their genes and blood vessel structure. Researchers will use a special imaging technique called OCT to measure blood vessel size and compare it to genetic information from the birthmark tissue. About 73 people of any age with a vascular stain will participate. The goal is to use this knowledge to make laser treatment more effective.
