Gene hunt: could DNA secrets unlock rhabdomyosarcoma prognosis?
NCT ID NCT03296371
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores genetic mutations in children with embryonal or alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma by analyzing saliva or cheek cell samples from the child and their parents. The goal is to identify inherited or new gene changes that may help doctors predict how the disease will progress. About 900 participants and their parents are involved, but this research does not test any new treatments.
