Scientists hunt for genetic clues behind rare childhood disease
NCT ID NCT04100408
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looks at how inherited genes may make some children more likely to develop Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare disease where immune cells grow out of control. Researchers will analyze DNA from 647 children and their parents to find gene changes linked to LCH and understand why tumor mutations differ by race. The goal is to learn more about what causes LCH, not to test a new treatment.
