Baby formula study uncovers hidden gene switches in milk allergy
NCT ID NCT04184700
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 90 children with cow's milk allergy to see if a special formula (Nutramigen LGG) changes how genes work. Researchers measured DNA changes over 12 months. The goal was to understand how the formula helps kids outgrow the allergy, not to test a new treatment.
