Global hunt for genetic clues to common heart valve defect

NCT ID NCT01980797

Ongoing Knowledge-focused Sponsor: Boston University Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This large, long-term study aims to discover the genetic causes of bicuspid aortic valve disease and understand why it leads to serious heart complications in some people. Researchers are collecting health data and genetic information from over 6,000 patients worldwide to track the disease's natural course. The study does not test any treatments; it focuses on gathering knowledge to help predict risks and guide future care.
