Creating a DNA bank for congenital heart disease in southeastern France

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project aims to establish a comprehensive DNA bank specifically for patients with congenital heart defects in the south-eastern region of France. By collecting blood samples from affected individuals, the study seeks to enhance the understanding of the genetic pathways involved in these conditions. The initiative addresses the lack of local resources for genetic research and aims to facilitate better diagnosis and classification of congenital heart diseases. The study will utilize the existing infrastructure at the Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Marseille for sample collection and analysis.
