Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06555965Recruiting
STXBP1 and SYNGAP1 natural history study
This study follows people with STXBP1 or SYNGAP1 gene changes over time to learn more about how these conditions affect the body and mind. It does not test a treatment but helps researchers understand the natural course of the disorder.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05589714Recruiting
Study your rare eye gene and track retinal disease over time
This study builds a registry and tracks the natural history of rare retinal dystrophies while also testing people for disease-causing gene variants. It may help researchers better understand what causes retinal degeneration and how it progresses.
Houston, TexasAges 4 years+ - NCT05747976Recruiting
Study for children with very high body size measurements
This study is building a program database for children who have unusually high body size measurements for their age. By collecting genetic and health information, researchers hope to better understand causes of obesity and guide care.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07102966Recruiting
Genetic study for babies with birth defects in Texas
This study looks for genetic causes of birth defects in newborn babies. If your baby has a suspected genetic condition and other tests haven't found a clear cause, this study may help find answers.
Houston, TexasAges 1 day–3 months - NCT01258231Recruiting
Genetic test to predict risks after heart surgery
This study looks for genetic (DNA) clues that may help predict side effects or complications after heart surgery. If you join, your genome information may be used to understand who is at higher risk and why.
Houston, TexasAges 20–90 - NCT01193088Recruiting
Study genetics to find who modifies Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT)
This study looks at DNA changes in families with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), especially a known gene duplication called PMP22. It aims to understand what other genetic factors may change how CMT shows up, which could help future diagnosis and care.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - 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.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT02450851Recruiting
Find answers for undiagnosed medical conditions using genetic testing
This study helps look for causes of health problems when no one has been able to give a diagnosis. It tests and shares medical and genetic information (with privacy protections) so researchers can better match findings to possible causes.
Houston, TexasAges 1 month–100 years - NCT04994015RecruitingTeam says not enrolling
Genetic registry for people with Parkinson’s
This study builds a genetics “registry” of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease who agree to genetic testing. Your information may help researchers understand why Parkinson’s happens and improve future treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04924075RecruitingPhase 2
Belzutifan for cancers linked to VHL or HIF-2α changes
This Phase 2 study tests belzutifan (MK-6482) to treat certain advanced cancers caused by specific gene or disease changes, including VHL-related tumors and HIF-2α related tumors. It may help shrink tumors or slow their growth in people whose cancer matches these genetic or disease patterns.
Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT05432349Recruiting
Rett syndrome genetic registry for MECP2 changes
This trial is a registry that collects health and genetic information from people with Rett syndrome. It may help researchers better understand how MECP2 loss-of-function changes lead to symptoms and how to support patients.
Houston, TexasAges birth–99 years - NCT05519475RecruitingPhase 2
Gene-silencing medicine trial for adults with MASH and liver scarring
This Phase 2 study tests a gene-silencing treatment to improve chronic liver disease called MASH, especially in people with certain genetic risk. You may be eligible if you have MASH with moderate-to-advanced scarring and specific test results, and if other liver causes and recent substance/alcohol issues don’t apply.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06057181Recruiting
Helix research network for adults
This study is a research network that collects health information from adults to better understand health and disease. It is open to most adults who are willing to follow the study procedures.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06991114RecruitingPhase 2
AlloNK and rituximab for relapsing rheumatologic diseases
This trial tests a new natural killer (NK) cell therapy called AlloNK given with rituximab for people with certain autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's disease, inflammatory myopathies, or systemic sclerosis) that have not responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can better control the disease.

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.
