Scientists hunt for missing genetic clues in kids with unexplained delays
NCT ID NCT01826708
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked for hidden genetic changes in 10 children with developmental delays who had a balanced chromosomal translocation (a rearrangement of DNA that appears normal under a microscope). Researchers used high-resolution DNA microarrays to check for tiny missing or extra pieces of DNA that standard tests might miss. The goal was to find a possible genetic explanation for each child's symptoms.
