Recruiting studies near San Diego
- NCT05848271Recruiting
Natural history study for people with HPDL gene changes
This study follows people who have an HPDL gene change to better understand how symptoms and health progress over time. It may help clinicians learn more about the condition and plan future treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT02917460Recruiting
Join a children’s genomic sample and data library
This study collects and stores DNA samples and related health information from people of all ages. It helps researchers understand childhood diseases better and may support future discoveries and treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03385876Enrolling by invitation
Rapid whole genome sequencing for children with suspected genetic illness
This study quickly reads a child’s DNA using whole genome sequencing to look for genetic causes of symptoms. It may help families and doctors better understand an underlying genetic condition and guide medical care.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - 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.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06306521Recruiting
Newborn screening for hundreds of genetic diseases by genome sequencing
This research study tests a new way to screen newborns for hundreds of genetic diseases using a sample of their blood or saliva. It aims to find conditions early so your baby can get the right care sooner.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1 day–4 weeks - 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.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03277365Recruiting
Share your 23andMe data with a digital genetics study
This study tests a digital platform that uses people’s existing genetic information to support genetic research. If you are an adult and willing to share your 23andMe results from an Apple phone, you can likely participate.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06647498RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of a treatment for early-onset Alzheimer's caused by a gene change
This study tests a potential disease-modifying treatment for people who have a specific gene mutation that causes early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if the treatment can delay or prevent symptoms.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05552157RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of treatments for early onset Alzheimer's caused by genetic mutations
This trial tests potential treatments for people who are at risk for or have early onset Alzheimer's disease due to a specific genetic mutation. It aims to find treatments that could slow or prevent symptoms.

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.
