Family history study to support genetic testing research
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects family and medical history to better understand inherited causes of blood cancers (like lymphoma) and related conditions. It may help researchers build genetic findings that could improve how families understand their risk and future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or a close family member) have had lymphoma or a related blood cancer, or multiple myeloma
- Your family history may include specific cancers or blood disorders that could suggest inherited risk
- You can complete a family questionnaire or provide family members for follow-up to confirm diagnoses
- The study includes DNA storage in some cases, based on verified cancer diagnoses
- If you are a minor, you can join with child approval and a parent/guardian’s permission

This study collects DNA from adults with kidney cancer (or suspected kidney cancer), plus DNA from some family members and healthy controls. It helps researchers understand whether certain genetic changes might be linked to kidney cancer risk.
This study looks at families where more than one close, blood-related person has a lymphoproliferative disorder (a group of conditions where the lymph system makes too many abnormal cells). It aims to better understand why these disorders run in families and how they may be inherited or related.
This study collects leftover tissue samples from patients with or without lymphoma to help researchers better understand lymph system cancers. It may be an option if you are already having a biopsy or surgery.
This study uses advanced DNA testing to look for inherited gene changes in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help explain whether your illness could be part of a family-linked risk syndrome, which can guide treatment and family planning.
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
