Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03685721Recruiting
Study genes in sickle cell disease to compare blood test activity
This study looks at how a person’s genes relate to certain measurements in red blood cells in people with sickle cell disease. The goal is to understand why blood cell function varies and how that might guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT07102849Enrolling by invitation
Studying bone marrow failure with biospecimens and data
This study analyzes blood, bone marrow, and medical information from people with bone marrow failure syndromes (BMFS) and healthy volunteers to better understand these conditions and find new ways to help patients.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT05403151Recruiting

This study looks at healthy adults and how their blood vessels work. It may help researchers understand normal circulation so they can better compare changes in future conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT05213572Recruiting
Deep health check study for adults with sickle cell disease
This study looks at how major organs like the brain, kidneys, heart, and liver are affected in adults with sickle cell disease, whether they've had a bone marrow transplant or gene therapy, or are continuing regular treatment. You'll get detailed tests that can help doctors understand the disease better, which may lead to improved care.

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.
