Predicting heart pressure from vein size in children
This study looks at a possible link between the size of a large vein (the inferior vena cava) and the pressure in the right side of the heart in children. If the link is strong, doctors might one day use vein size to estimate heart pressure without more invasive tests.

Sealant study for children with weak enamel
This study compares two types of dental sealants applied to the first permanent molars of children aged 6-12 who have a condition called molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), which means their back teeth have soft or chalky spots. The goal is to see which sealant works better at protecting these teeth from cavities.

This study looks back at the medical records of people with lymphoma to learn more about the disease. It does not involve any new treatments or tests—just reviewing what happened in the past.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06783725Recruiting
Sleep help for people with Down syndrome
This study tests a sleep intervention to improve quality of life for people with Down syndrome who have trouble sleeping. A caregiver will help track sleep and take part in activities to improve sleep habits.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–30 - NCT06784440Recruiting
Finding noninvasive markers of graft injury after heart transplant
This study looks for noninvasive markers (like blood or urine tests) that can show if a heart transplant is being injured. It aims to make monitoring safer and easier for children and adults with congenital heart disease who have had a transplant.
BolognaAges Up to 44 years - NCT06785532Recruiting
Brain stimulation for hard-to-treat Tourette's syndrome
This trial tests a brain stimulation device (RNS) for people with Tourette's syndrome whose symptoms haven't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this approach can reduce tics and improve quality of life.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT06787482RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Peptide therapy for retinitis pigmentosa
This trial tests a new peptide therapy for people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a genetic eye disease that causes vision loss. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help slow or improve vision loss.
CairoAges Any age - NCT06788314RecruitingPhase 2
Enalapril for painful venous malformations
This trial tests if the blood pressure drug enalapril can reduce pain from venous malformations (abnormal veins). It may help people whose pain limits daily activities or interrupts sleep.
Oslo, NorwayAges 18–70 - NCT06788470RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy for severe lung disease in premature babies
This trial tests whether umbilical cord stem cells can help premature babies with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (a chronic lung disease) who still need a breathing tube after standard hormone treatment. The goal is to see if it is safe and improves their lung condition.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 8 months+ - NCT06789783RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Lithium treatment for Cornelia de Lange syndrome
This trial tests whether lithium can help people with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) who have a confirmed NIPBL gene mutation. It might improve their daily life and overall well-being.
Milan, MIAges 4 years+ - NCT06790394RecruitingPhase 1
Test-Retest PET Scan Study for Heart Amyloidosis
This study uses a special PET scan tracer to see how consistent the images are in people with heart amyloidosis (a buildup of abnormal protein in the heart) and in people without the condition. The goal is to improve diagnosis and monitoring.
LondonAges 40 years+ - NCT06791343Recruiting
Early diagnosis of pregnancy and newborn health issues
This study looks at health data from pregnant women to find patterns that could help predict and catch health problems in mothers and babies early. It might offer better monitoring and care during and after pregnancy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT06793969Recruiting
New method to close PFO hole in heart
This trial is testing a new way to close a small hole in the heart (called a PFO) using a thin tube and a guidewire to make the procedure smoother. It's for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke and whose PFO is thought to be the cause.

- Clin2 is tracking 3,858 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,779 we cover in this area in total.
- 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.
