Additional Study Information:
CARE is a new research initiative that aims to investigate the underlying genetic causes of various birth defects. By identifying the cause of these defects, we hope to be able to better understand their natural history which may ultimately lead to better treatment and management. Knowing the genetic causes of birth defects also allows us to assess the hereditary risk of the defect in a family. The study is free and involves submission of a blood or saliva sample from a child with a birth defect and both parents. If you have a child with a birth defect and would be interested in enrolling, contact us.
