Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT00055172Recruiting
Understanding Genetic Causes of Immune System Disorders
This research study investigates why some people have weak or poorly functioning immune systems. By studying you and your relatives, researchers hope to identify genetic factors that cause these conditions and eventually develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–99 years - NCT00050752Recruiting
Study of hereditary kidney cancer and skin tumors
This research study helps doctors understand a rare genetic condition called HLRCC that causes specific types of skin tumors and kidney cancer to run in families. By studying your genetics and medical history, researchers hope to improve how doctors detect and treat this condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT01102569Recruiting
Genetic research for pancreatic cancer in Ashkenazi Jewish patients
This study looks at genetic (DNA) factors related to pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers understand risks and find ways to improve prevention or treatment for people in the study population.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT01772771Recruiting
Molecular testing to guide personalized cancer treatment plans
This trial uses special lab tests to look for tumor “molecular fingerprints” in your tumor or blood sample. The goal is to help your care team choose more personalized treatment options based on those results.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT02014246Recruiting
Genetic study of movement disorders and dementia
This study looks at DNA (genetic material) in people with movement disorders or dementia, and in some family members or healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand why these conditions happen and how genes may contribute.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT01852448Recruiting
Study genes affecting insulin in people with cystic fibrosis
This study looks at how genes may affect insulin and “incretin” hormones in people with cystic fibrosis. It may help researchers understand why some people develop blood-sugar problems and how to predict or prevent them.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2 years+ - NCT00482794Recruiting
Study genetic risk factors for antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
This study looks at genetic (inherited) risk factors in people who have antiphospholipid antibodies and related symptoms. Your results may help researchers better predict who is at risk and improve care for antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
Durham, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT01084967Recruiting
Study genes behind obesity in young people from East China
This study looks at how genes may contribute to obesity in young people living in East China. If you meet the weight and background criteria and can consent, you may be able to help researchers learn more and improve care for obesity.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–30 - NCT01034033Recruiting
Blood and tumor genetic study for BRCA and related risks
This study collects blood (and possibly tumor tissue) to learn how certain inherited gene changes relate to breast and ovarian cancer risk. It may help researchers understand which people are most likely to develop these cancers and how tumors differ in high-risk patients.

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.

Study of OCD genes, proteins, and gut microbes
This study looks at genes, blood/brain proteins, and gut microbes in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may help researchers understand what drives OCD and how treatments could be better tailored in the future.
SeoulAges 19–70 - NCT02478892Recruiting

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.
