Genetic Variants in Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) Synthesis Pathway

Completed
Conditions
Vacterl Association
Congenital Malformation
Registration Number
NCT03799705
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

Researchers are trying to identify versions of genes as well as factors in subjects blood associated with certain types of congenital malformations(CMs). This study will help the researchers to better understand family traits that contribute to CMs.
