Testing blood traits in children with ROHHAD syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies children with ROHHAD syndrome to better understand their body chemistry and other blood features. The results may help researchers learn what drives the condition and how it might be tracked over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child with ROHHAD syndrome (a rare condition affecting body control).
- Not have a known genetic cause that already explains obesity.
- If doctors have identified a genetic obesity cause, you would likely not qualify.
