Gene hunt aims to unlock secrets of rare heart conditions
NCT ID NCT05330338
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking for new genes that may cause certain types of congenital heart disease, specifically transposition of the great arteries. Researchers will collect DNA from up to 300 children with these heart defects and their parents to find genetic changes. The goal is to better understand the causes of these conditions, which could lead to more personalized care in the future. No new treatments are being tested.
