Blood tests in children with extra or missing chromosomes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at blood test results in children with conditions caused by an extra or missing chromosome, such as Down syndrome. It aims to understand the typical changes in blood counts to help improve care for these children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children must be between 28 days and 18 years old.
- The child must have a confirmed diagnosis of Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Edwards syndrome, or Patau syndrome.
- Parents or legal guardians must agree to let the child participate.
- The child should not be currently receiving chemotherapy.

This study follows infants and young children with conditions caused by having an extra sex chromosome (like XXY, XYY, or XXX) to learn how health and development unfold over time. It may help families and doctors understand what to expect and what support could be helpful.
This study includes people of many ages to help researchers learn more about Trisomy (an extra chromosome condition) in those with and without Down syndrome. It may help improve understanding and future care for people affected by chromosome differences.
This study tests a new blood test that looks for fetal cells in your bloodstream to check your baby's health during pregnancy. The test is non-invasive—just a regular blood draw—and aims to help identify pregnancy risks earlier than traditional methods.
This study looks for a tiny piece of the Y chromosome (a sex chromosome normally found in males) in a blood sample. It may help doctors better understand Turner syndrome and find hidden Y chromosome material that could affect health.
This study collects genetic samples from pregnant people who have a higher chance of chromosome changes in the baby. It tests whether taking samples through CVS and/or amniocentesis can help understand the baby’s genetic makeup.
This study looks at how genetics and gene-regulation (how genes turn on and off) differ between close family members who have different Down syndrome status. Researchers hope the findings will help explain why Down syndrome outcomes can vary even in very closely related people.
