Long-term outlook in adults with congenital heart disease
This study looks at how adults with congenital heart disease (a heart problem you were born with) do over time. By reviewing medical records, doctors hope to learn what affects long-term health and help improve care for patients like you.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06723938Recruiting
Understanding genetic causes of differences in sex development
This study looks at the genetic and physical traits of people with 46,XY DSD (differences in sex development). It aims to better understand the causes and improve care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06723925Recruiting
Biotinidase deficiency newborn screening and follow-up study
This study looks at babies who had low biotinidase enzyme activity on their newborn screening test. It aims to understand the genetic cause and track their health over time. If your child had low activity on this test, this study may help provide important follow-up care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Up to 3 years - NCT06723951Recruiting
Quality of life questionnaire for spina bifida patients
This study tests a new questionnaire QUALAS to see how well it measures quality of life in Dutch people with and without spina bifida. If you have spina bifida or are a healthy volunteer, you may help validate this tool.
GroningenAges 8 years+ - NCT06724029Recruiting
Neurosurgery outcomes research for multiple conditions
This study collects data from people having brain or spine surgery for many different conditions. It aims to understand how well different treatments work and how people recover. If you are scheduled for certain brain, spine, or nerve surgeries, you may be able to join.
Bergamo, BGAges 18 years+ - NCT06724224Recruiting
Comparing thyroid hormone drugs for babies with low thyroid
This study compares two types of levothyroxine (a thyroid hormone medicine) to see which works better for newborns and children with congenital hypothyroidism (a condition where the thyroid gland doesn't work properly from birth). If your child was diagnosed early and lives in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, this trial may help find the best treatment.
Bologna, BolognaAges Up to 11 years - NCT06725901Recruiting
Platform to support genetic diagnosis in children
This trial is building a platform to help doctors diagnose rare genetic diseases in children. It asks neuropediatricians at a specific hospital to share their experience and help improve the process of referring kids to genetic specialists.
Valparaíso, ValparaisoAges Any age - NCT06725940Recruiting
PET scan to check treatment response in breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how well your breast cancer is responding to neoadjuvant therapy (treatment given before surgery). The goal is to help doctors personalize your care by checking if the cancer is shrinking.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT06726642Recruiting

- What does “Genetic & congenital” cover here?
- Inherited and congenital conditions present from birth or written into the genes. We group each study into genetic & congenital based on the conditions it studies, so you can scan the whole therapeutic area at once and drill into a specific condition.
- How do I find a genetic & congenital trial near me?
- Use the search to filter genetic & congenital studies by location and eligibility. Every Clin2 trial page explains the criteria in plain English and offers a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read — the study team makes the final decision.
