Tiny biopsies may hold key to esophageal birth defect
NCT ID NCT06073158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at tissue samples from 6 children born with esophageal atresia, a condition where the esophagus doesn't form properly. Researchers compared biopsies taken during surgery with those stored for up to a year to see if storage time changes the molecular information. The goal is to improve future research into what causes this birth defect.
