Scientists hunt for genetic clues in rare childhood immune disorders
NCT ID NCT06435468
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is not a treatment trial. It aims to collect blood samples from 400 children and their relatives who have rare autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases (like lupus or juvenile arthritis). Researchers will analyze the samples to find genetic mutations that cause these conditions. The goal is to better understand these rare diseases, which may lead to better diagnosis in the future.
