Genetic Variants in Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) Synthesis Pathway
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Researchers are trying to identify versions of genes as well as factors in subjects blood associated with certain types of congenital malformations(CMs). This study will help the researchers to better understand family traits that contribute to CMs.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
History of VACTERL or congenital malformations 1) Adults with VACTERL association; 2) adults with a history of congenital malformations resembling VACTERL association; 3) gravid and non-gravid women with a history of recurrent miscarriage, their surviving offspring, and the biological father of offspring; 4) newly diagnosed VACTERL patients identified by healthcare providers. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Genetic variants [2 years]
Identification of genetic variants which may be associated with VACTERL association or other congenital malformations.
- Targeted metabolomics [2 years]
Identification of changes in metabolic pathways which may provide functional insight into the presence of genetic variants in patients with VACTERL association
