Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT05020574RecruitingPhase 2
Study how the microbiome may affect breast implant infections
This Phase 2 study looks at whether changes in the body’s “microbiome” (the normal germs in and on the body) are linked to infections after breast surgery with implants. It may help doctors better predict and prevent implant infections in people undergoing mastectomy with immediate implant placement.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04472338Recruiting
Prostate cancer screening for people with higher genetic risk
This study looks at prostate cancer screening for people who may be at higher risk because of a specific inherited (genetic) change. It may help your care team find the best screening approach to catch aggressive prostate cancer earlier.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 4 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges birth–99 years - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06935253Recruiting
AI to Improve Cardiology Care
This trial tests whether large language models (a type of AI that understands human language) can help cardiologists give better care. If you are a qualified cardiologist who currently treats patients, you may be eligible.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04208529Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term follow-up after receiving CTX001 infusion
This study follows people for a long time after they received CTX001 in an earlier (parent) study. It helps researchers learn about long-term safety and outcomes of the treatment.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 2 years+ - NCT04681781Enrolling by invitation
Remote study of SLC13A5 deficiency history
This study follows people with SLC13A5 deficiency to better understand how the condition changes over time, using surveys and clinical check-ins done remotely. If you (or your child) have this genetic condition, it may help researchers learn what symptoms to expect and how to track them.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06144957Enrolling by invitation
SLC13A5 deficiency natural history study (US only)
This study follows people with SLC13A5 deficiency (a rare genetic condition that affects brain development) to learn more about the disease over time. It collects health information, assessments, and samples to help understand the condition and plan future treatments.
Palo Alto, 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 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.

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.
