Heart changes in Fabry disease: an observational study
This study looks at people with Fabry disease, a genetic condition that can cause the heart muscle to thicken. Researchers want to understand how the heart's blood vessels change over time, which may help improve care for Fabry disease.

Breath test to find lung diseases
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.

Cold snare removal for duodenal growths in FAP
This trial studies removing small growths in the duodenum (a part of the small intestine) in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) using a “cold snare” technique. It may help reduce the need for more intensive treatment and make follow-up care safer, but you must meet specific safety and readiness requirements.

Pre-eclampsia Risk in Egg Recipients Study
This study looks at whether women who become pregnant after receiving donated eggs have a higher risk of developing pre-eclampsia (a serious blood pressure condition) during pregnancy. It aims to understand risks so doctors can better support pregnant women.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07265388Recruiting
Testing a scoring system for Fuchs dystrophy and cataract surgery
This study tests a scoring system to predict how well people with Fuchs dystrophy do after cataract surgery. It may help doctors plan better treatment for your cornea and lens.
Madrid, MadridAges 40 years+ - NCT07261891Recruiting
Lab study of JAK-STAT related disorders
This study looks at blood or tissue samples from people with certain genetic disorders that affect a key cell communication pathway (JAK-STAT). The goal is to learn more about these disorders and test potential treatments in the lab.

Helping burn survivors with a tight mouth using a custom 3D-printed brace
This study tests a custom-made mouth brace created from a 3D scan of your mouth. The brace may help stretch and improve the opening of a tight mouth caused by burn scars, making daily activities like eating and speaking easier.

High blood pressure in kids at risk for inherited kidney disease
This study looks for early signs of high blood pressure in children and teens (12–17) who have a parent with ADPKD, a kidney condition. It uses non-invasive tests like blood pressure monitoring and MRI to track kidney health.
LondonAges 12–17 - NCT07264036Recruiting
Nasal Speech After Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Study
This study is for people who have had treatment for head or neck cancer and now have a nasal-sounding voice. It tests a procedure to help improve speech by adding a small amount of filler material to the back of the throat.

Gene therapy trial for retinitis pigmentosa with CNGA1 mutation
This trial tests a new gene therapy called VG901, given as an injection into the eye, for people with retinitis pigmentosa caused by a specific genetic change in the CNGA1 gene. The goal is to see if it is safe and tolerable.
TübingenAges 18 years+ - NCT04046796Recruiting
Study genetics in identical twin who differ in symptoms
This study looks at DNA changes to explain why two identical (monozygotic) twins can have different symptoms. It may help clarify the cause of an unclear condition in one twin so the right diagnosis (and future treatment) can be found.

Common questions
- How many genetic & congenital clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 3,762 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,482 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.
Other specialties
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov; specialty groupings are derived from each study’s conditions. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
