NCT ID NCT07329257
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study observes 100 people with rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders like Baker Gordon Syndrome and Syt-1 disorder. Researchers will track symptoms, collect genetic and imaging data, and create cell models to better understand these conditions. The goal is to improve diagnosis and pave the way for future treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
