Genetic Disease clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 33 recruiting genetic disease studies with a site in Maryland, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- 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 - NCT02257892Recruiting
Study of rare immune system genetic disorders
This study looks for genetic causes of immune problems, such as unusually frequent infections, abnormal allergies, or autoimmune or inflammation conditions. It may help by improving how doctors understand these disorders and by matching families with possible genetic diagnoses.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT00001467Recruiting
Study of genes in immune disorders
This research looks at how inherited (genetic) changes may affect the immune system in people with immune problems. It may help by improving understanding of these conditions and, in some cases, guiding faster care for a baby after birth.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–101 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - NCT01109420Recruiting
Family study of non-medullary thyroid cancer and genetics
This study looks at families affected by non-medullary thyroid cancer to understand patterns and possible genetic risk. You may be able to join even if you personally do not have the cancer, as long as you have the right family history and can complete a questionnaire.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–90 - NCT02504853Recruiting
Study food allergy patterns and genetics over time
This study follows people with food allergy and some closely related or healthy people to learn how food allergy (and related conditions) develops over time. It may help researchers find causes and better ways to predict and treat food allergy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT00001987Recruiting
Understanding genetics of insulin resistance and diabetes
This research study looks at the genes and immune system factors that cause severe insulin resistance—a condition where the body doesn't respond well to insulin. Researchers want to understand why some people develop this problem and study family members and healthy volunteers to learn more.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–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 - 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.

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 in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 33 recruiting genetic disease studies with a site in Maryland, 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 in Maryland?
- 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 Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, 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.
Not the right time?
New genetic disease studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
