About this study

Official title: Case-control Study on Environmental and Genetic Factors of Congenital Heart Disease

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of parental peri-natal environmental risk factors and genetic factors on the development of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). Our hypothesis is that the distributions of some environmental and genetic risk factors significantly differ between neonates with and without CHD.

Read the detailed description

Congenital heart defect (CHD) is one of birth defects in the structure of the heart and/or great vessels. Many types of heart defects exist, most of which either obstruct blood flow in the heart or vessels near it, or cause blood to flow through the heart in an abnormal pattern. Heart defects are the leading cause of birth defect-related infant deaths. So far people recognize that the causes of CHD are the conjunct effect of environment and genetic factors, both of which remain unclear. The current stud aims at investigating all the possible perinatal parental environmental risk factors and underlying genetic factors to CHD, including DNA variation and methylations. A hospital-based 1:1 matched case control study is conducted. Subjects were recruited through neonatal screening program, which includes a clinical symptom screening followed by a cardiac ultrasound diagnosis for those with at least one clinical indicator. The blood sample of participant will be collected and the parents of subjects will be interviewed to completed a questionnaire including general information and possible risk factors to CHD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Disease, run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

genome-wide DNA SNPs and methylations (time frame: delivery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2015.
