What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study will examine 138 children with congenital heart disease to find out how many also have chromosomal abnormalities. Researchers will use a standard genetic test called karyotyping to look for missing or extra chromosomes. The goal is to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, and genetic counseling for families.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors better understand which genetic changes are linked to heart defects, leading to earlier diagnosis and improved family counseling.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that only looks at genetic patterns—it does not test a treatment. Results may not apply to all populations, and karyotyping may miss small genetic changes.

Participants

About 138 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Oct 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

This study population consists of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease attending Assiut University Children's Hospital and Elmabara Insurance Hospital. Eligible children underwent detailed clinical evaluation, dysmorphic assessment, and cytogenetic testing (karyotyping) to determine the incidence and pattern of chromosomal abnormalities.

Ages

1 month to 18 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children with a confirmed diagnosis of congenital heart disease (by echocardiography and/or cardiology evaluation). * Age between 1 month and 18 years. * Patients attending Assiut University Children's Hospital or Elmabara Insurance Hospital during the study period. * Informed consent obtained from parents or legal guardians. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with acquired (non-congenital) heart disease. * Critically ill patients in unstable condition not suitable for blood sampling. * Incomplete clinical data or refusal of parents/guardians to participate.
