This study helps researchers learn how young adults (ages 14–26) who had rheumatic disease or orthopedic surgery as children experience pain over time. By understanding your story, the study may help doctors better support others facing similar challenges.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 14–26 - NCT07606989Recruiting
Genetic testing to understand fetal birth defects
This study uses advanced genetic testing (whole genome sequencing) on tissue samples from fetuses with structural abnormalities detected on ultrasound. The goal is to identify genetic causes of birth defects to help with diagnosis and understanding of your baby's condition.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07608432RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New DMD Treatment Given Every 4 Weeks
This study tests whether a new medicine called zeleciment rostudirsen can help ambulatory (walking) males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The medicine is given as an intravenous infusion (through a vein) every 4 weeks and works by helping the body produce a protective muscle protein.
Hillsborough, North CarolinaAges 4–18 - NCT07609394Recruiting
Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy Health Records Study
This study collects electronic health records (medical information already in your doctor's computer system) from people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, or female carriers of these conditions. Researchers will use this data to better understand the diseases and improve care over time.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges Any age - NCT07610239Recruiting
Newborn Sickle Cell Disease Screening System in Uganda
This study tests a new computer system to help hospitals quickly identify babies with sickle cell disease (an inherited blood disorder) right after birth or at early health visits. Finding sickle cell disease early helps prevent serious health problems and saves lives.
JinjaAges 18 years+ - NCT07614997Recruiting
Ultrasound skin tightening for loose skin on neck and lower face
This study tests whether Ultherapy (an ultrasound treatment) can safely tighten loose skin on your neck, jawline, and lower face without surgery. The treatment uses sound waves to stimulate your skin's natural collagen production.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 35–65 - NCT07619651Recruiting
Pain relief methods after hypospadias repair in young boys
This trial compares two different numbing techniques to help manage pain after hypospadias surgery (a procedure to correct the urinary opening in boys). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for young children.
KayseriAges 6 months–7 years - NCT07625020Recruiting
Nerve Hydrodissection for Diabetic Nerve Entrapment Pain
This trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure that uses fluid injection to free trapped nerves in the lower legs of people with diabetes. The goal is to relieve pain, numbness, and weakness when standard medications haven't worked well enough.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07625579Recruiting
Collaboration for Down Syndrome Progress Research Study
This research study aims to better understand Down syndrome by collecting health information, family history, and sometimes brain imaging or sleep data from children and adults with Down syndrome and their families. The goal is to advance knowledge that could improve health and development for people with Down syndrome.
Orange, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07628972RecruitingPhase 1
Quercetin for telomere biology disorders
This study tests whether a natural supplement called quercetin can help people with dyskeratosis congenita or other telomere biology disorders. These are rare conditions where cells have unusually short telomeres (protective caps on chromosomes), which can affect bone marrow and increase cancer risk.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 2 years+ - NCT07629778RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HL-300 Ointment for Mild-to-Moderate Atopic Dermatitis
This study tests a new ointment (HL-300) designed to treat mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (a chronic skin condition causing itching and inflammation). You would apply it to affected skin areas to see if it safely reduces symptoms.

- Clin2 is tracking 3,858 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,795 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.
