Genes and germs in early life study
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how genes and tiny organisms in your body (microbiota) affect early childhood development. It involves storing blood and stool samples from you and your child to help researchers learn more.
