Genetics of Neonatal Encephalopathy and Related Disorders

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Neonatal Encephalopathy, Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

In brief

Investigators at Boston Children's Hospital are conducting research in order to better understand the genetic factors which may contribute to neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and related disorders. These findings may help explain the broad spectrum of clinical features and outcomes seen in individuals with a history of NE.
