NCT ID NCT07336966
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will look back at medical records of 45 people with either Wolfram syndrome or a related eye condition caused by changes in the WFS1 gene. Researchers want to see if these two conditions are truly different by comparing vision loss over time and other health problems. The goal is to better understand each disease so doctors can give more accurate diagnoses.

- If this study succeeds, it could help doctors better diagnose and manage two related but possibly different eye conditions caused by WFS1 mutations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study that only looks at past records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients.
