Study of inherited glycosylation disorders for diagnosis
This study helps doctors diagnose congenital (from birth) glycosylation disorders, which are inherited conditions that affect how the body builds certain sugar-related proteins. You (or your child) may have clinic visits, blood or other samples, and possibly genetic testing—especially if there are family members with a known or suspected condition.

Biopsy study to learn about mesothelioma and related cancers
This study collects tissue samples (biopsies) and health information to better understand malignant mesothelioma and certain related solid tumors that may produce a protein called mesothelin. It may help future research and treatments, and you can only join if your diagnosis is confirmed and it’s safe for you to have the tissue taken.

Study of metabolism, infection, and immunity in mitochondrial disease
This study looks at how metabolism, infections, and the immune system work together in people with mitochondrial disease. It aims to learn more about the condition and may help guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–115 years - NCT01915225Recruiting
Collecting solid tumor samples during cancer biopsy or surgery
This trial collects tissue (samples) from people who are already scheduled for biopsy or surgery for certain solid cancers. It aims to improve future testing and research while checking that taking the sample is safe and doesn’t add extra risk.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT01399385Recruiting
New heart imaging to detect heart disease
This study tests new imaging techniques, like MRI and CT scans, to better see heart and blood vessel problems. It may help doctors find heart disease earlier and guide treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01386437Recruiting
Study immune problems and fungal infections
This study looks at how immune system problems relate to fungal infections, using medical records and lab tests on blood and tissue. It may help researchers understand the cause of these infections—especially for people with inherited immune conditions—and improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT01434368Recruiting
Understanding brain and hormone changes during puberty
This study follows children and young adults through puberty to understand how hormones and brain development change together using MRI scans and other tests. If you or your child are healthy and fall into one of the study's age ranges, this research could help explain how puberty affects the brain.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–35 - NCT01441089Recruiting
Donate blood for genetic testing in an NIH research study
This study collects blood from people already in an NIH (National Institutes of Health) clinical research program to run genetic tests. It may help researchers understand cancer and related inherited conditions by studying DNA changes.
