ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to learn more about certain eye conditions in children, specifically Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia, and Coloboma (also known as MAC). The researchers want to understand how these conditions affect children's appearance and how changes in their DNA might influence the chances of developing MAC. By studying families with these conditions, they hope to gather important information that could help improve care and support for affected children.

Families with children diagnosed with MAC are invited to participate in this study. Eligible participants include the children themselves, their parents, and their siblings, and they should be able to speak either English or Spanish. During the study, participants may be asked to provide information about their family's health and may undergo some genetic testing. This research is a valuable opportunity to contribute to a better understanding of these eye conditions, which could lead to improved outcomes for children in the future.
