Study genetics in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients
This study looks at genetic differences in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (a lung scarring condition with no known cause). It may help researchers understand what influences the disease and guide future treatment options.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00288119Recruiting
Study genes in Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer
This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors that may be linked to Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer. It may help researchers understand why these conditions happen in some families and others do not.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 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 - NCT01630421Recruiting
Study genes behind aplasia cutis congenita (ACC)
This study looks at the genes and body effects behind aplasia cutis congenita (ACC). It is mainly for people who have ACC, and it may include unaffected family members only if they are part of a research family group.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges Any age - NCT00006150Recruiting
Understanding Hyper-IgE Syndrome: Natural History and Genetics
This study follows people with or suspected Hyper-IgE syndrome (a rare immune disorder causing repeated infections and skin problems) to understand how the condition develops, how best to manage it, and which genes are involved. Researchers also welcome healthy relatives of patients to help identify genetic patterns.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–120 years - NCT01630447Recruiting
Study of cherubism genes and how the condition works
This study looks at the genes in people with cherubism to understand how the condition develops. If you have cherubism—or are part of a family where cherubism is being studied—you may be invited to take part.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges Any age - NCT01778543Recruiting
Study genes behind small eyes and eye coloboma
This study looks at how genes may cause certain eye conditions called microphthalmia, anophthalmia, and uveal coloboma. You may qualify if you have one of these conditions or are a close, unaffected relative who could also carry the gene.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–100 - NCT01630460Recruiting
Study of genetics in craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD)
This study looks at the genes and related body functions in people with craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD). It may help researchers understand the condition better, especially by comparing affected family members to those who are not affected.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges Any age - NCT00001532Recruiting
How Genes Affect Lung Disease Development
This research study examines how genetic factors contribute to various lung diseases, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Researchers want to understand why some people develop lung disease and how genetics plays a role, which may help improve treatment in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT00041600Recruiting
Brain Development and Genetic Study for Family Members
This research study investigates how genetic factors affect brain development and function in families where members have brain malformations, intellectual disability, or autism. Researchers hope to identify genetic causes that could lead to better understanding and future treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT01774409Recruiting
Genetic and immune testing program for advanced cancers
This program gathers tumor samples to study their genetic and immune (immune-system) features across many types of advanced cancer. Your information and tumor testing may help researchers understand which tumor features are present and how they relate to cancer behavior.
AnnecyAges Any age - NCT00461188Recruiting
Study of inherited pituitary tumor causes
This study looks at the genetics behind pituitary tumors, especially pituitary growth-hormone–related tumors like acromegaly. It may help doctors better understand who these tumors affect and why, which can guide future diagnosis or care.
LeicesterAges 6 years+ - NCT01221168Recruiting
Study genetics and family patterns of prostate cancer
This is a study that looks at how prostate cancer runs in families and what genetic factors may be involved. It may help researchers better understand hereditary risk, whether you have prostate cancer or are a family member without it.

Alzheimer's Disease Family Genetics Study
This study collects biological samples (blood or cells) from families where two or more members have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Researchers use these samples to identify genetic factors that may cause or increase risk for these conditions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for genetics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 704 recruiting genetics studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a genetics trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a genetics trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
