Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT05656365Recruiting
Study of genes and immunity in PFAPA and other tonsil problems
This study looks at genetic markers and immune system patterns in people with PFAPA (periodic fevers with mouth sores and throat/neck gland symptoms) or similar tonsil problems. It may help researchers understand why these conditions happen and how they might be better diagnosed or treated.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–99 years - NCT06948110Recruiting
Searching for genes linked to autoimmune diseases
This study looks for genes that may be linked to autoimmune diseases by comparing the DNA of people with these conditions to healthy family members or volunteers. If you have an autoimmune disease or are a healthy person interested in helping research, this study may help scientists understand why these diseases run in families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–115 - NCT06944067Recruiting
Genetic risk of immune response after blood transfusions in sickle cell disease
This study looks at whether certain genes make people with sickle cell disease more likely to develop an immune reaction to blood transfusions. It aims to help doctors predict transfusion risks and improve care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT00001215Enrolling by invitation
Understanding Genetic Lysosomal Storage Disorders
This study aims to understand genetic factors in lysosomal storage disorders—rare conditions where the body cannot break down certain substances. Researchers will collect information from patients with these disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers to learn how these diseases develop and affect people over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 week–110 years - NCT02077894Recruiting
Genetic testing to help identify inherited eye conditions
This study uses whole exome and whole genome genetic tests to look for DNA changes linked to inherited or congenital eye problems. It may help families and doctors better understand the cause of the eye condition and guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–120 years - NCT02692885Recruiting
Study body fat tissue to learn how it affects metabolism
This study looks at samples of body fat to understand what controls metabolism (how your body uses energy). You may be asked for a fat tissue sample during surgery or through a special biopsy scan, depending on your situation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT06278337Recruiting
Moesin-associated immunodeficiency study
This study looks at a rare immune system condition caused by changes in the MOESIN gene. It aims to better understand the condition and may help develop future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–80 - NCT03610802Recruiting
Send blood samples to study genetic and immune differences
This study collects blood (and sometimes related samples) to learn how genes and the immune system work in people with primary immunodeficiency (PID) or in family members who may not have it. The goal is to improve understanding of rare immune conditions and help guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT00246857Recruiting
Screening study for inherited immune system conditions
This study screens people who may have an inherited immune system condition (like problems with immune cell growth or death) and their blood relatives. The goal is to understand the condition better by collecting blood samples for testing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT01694940Recruiting
Mitochondrial disease registry and sample collection study
This trial builds a large database and collection of lab results, and possibly tissue samples, from people with suspected or diagnosed mitochondrial conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these disorders and mitochondrial DNA changes, which may improve future diagnosis and treatments.

What taking part in a genetic disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there genetic disease clinical trials near Baltimore?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 34 recruiting genetic disease studies with a site near Baltimore, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a genetic disease study near Baltimore?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Baltimore to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site near Baltimore, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a genetic disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
