Study linking genes and environment to health risks
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how your genes and your environment may affect your health. It may help researchers better understand who is most at risk so future prevention and care can be more personalized.

This study follows people with moderate-to-severe asthma and repeatedly checks how their lungs and symptoms relate to environmental exposures over time. It may help researchers better understand what triggers asthma and how exposures affect asthma control.
This study looks at genetic differences in adults from African diaspora groups to better understand risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. You may help scientists learn why these conditions are more common in certain communities.
This study looks at genetic and other biological information from people with diabetes to better understand heart-related complications. If you've had a heart catheterization and are between 20 and 70, you may be able to join.
This study observes how your body responds to environmental exposures or injuries over time. It aims to understand how different factors like genetics or lifestyle affect your health.
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study looks at how genes affect kidney disease in people from diverse backgrounds. It may help researchers understand why some people get kidney disease and others don't, which could lead to better prevention and treatment.
