Down Syndrome and Sleep Apnea Study (DOSA)

Home Sleep Apnea Testing in Children (HATCh) Study

The purpose of this research is to compare home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) to in-lab overnight sleep study. We want to see if HSAT in children can be an alternative to in-lab sleep study for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.

Study of Breathing During Sleep in Infants with Micrognathia and healthy infants

This study seeks to understand why some babies born with a small jaw (micrognathia) have sleep apnea and/or trouble growing and others do not. By enrolling healthy babies, we hope to get a better understanding of how infants breathe during sleep and grow over the first months of life. This observational study involves two study visits that each include an overnight sleep study and some other non-invasive tests.

Phase: N/A
