A Genome-Wide Association Study for Neonatal Diseases

Sponsor: Chinese University of Hong Kong

Summary

This is an observational study to identify genetic risks for neonatal diseases, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) using genome-wide association study (GWAS) and enterotype investigation. We hypothesize that specific genetic factors and microbiome could predispose preterm neonates for the development of NEC.
