Genetic clues in kids with birth defects and delays under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07167017
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study will examine the results of genetic testing (karyotyping) in 75 children aged 1 month to 12 years who have both birth defects and developmental delays. Researchers will collect medical histories, perform physical exams, and analyze genetic test results to find the types of chromosome problems causing these conditions. The goal is to better understand the causes and identify families who may need further genetic counseling.
