Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–30 - NCT00064870Recruiting
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.
Nationwide, IndianaAges 18 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.

Genetic study of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease
This research study looks for genetic factors that may explain why some people develop severe, long-lasting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Researchers will study blood and tissue samples from patients with this rare condition, their healthy relatives, and unrelated volunteers to understand the disease better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–120 - 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 - NCT00246857Recruiting
Screening study for inherited immune system conditions
This study screens people who may have an inherited immune system condition (like problems with immune cell growth or death) and their blood relatives. The goal is to understand the condition better by collecting blood samples for testing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - 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 - 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.

Understanding Genetic Lysosomal Storage Disorders
This study aims to understand genetic factors in lysosomal storage disorders—rare conditions where the body cannot break down certain substances. Researchers will collect information from patients with these disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers to learn how these diseases develop and affect people over time.

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 - NCT00055172Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for genetics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 696 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.
