Study for rare illnesses and treatment reactions in families
This trial looks for answers in rare illnesses that either have no known cause or have not improved with usual treatments. It also studies rare harmful reactions that happen after medicines, vaccines, or medical devices, and may involve family members of the affected person.

This study looks for a genetic (DNA) explanation for rare diseases when usual genetic testing hasn’t found an answer. It may help by re-analyzing prior results and comparing them with parents’ DNA to better pinpoint the cause.
This trial gathers feedback from rare disease patients or those suspected of having a rare disease. The goal is to create a more flexible consent process for future research.
This study tries to find genetic causes for rare diseases that are not yet understood. It uses a national rare-disease data bank and collects consent from patients and sometimes close family members.
This study looks for genetic causes of rare or unusual disease patterns in people living outside the United States. If you or a family member has a condition that seems to run in the family, started very early, or has an unusual form, you may be asked to provide a DNA sample and medical history.
This trial looks for gene changes that may explain rare conditions, even when the diagnosis is not fully understood. It may help families who have a rare condition or who are related to someone with one.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people with rare autoinflammatory diseases. The goal is to develop tests that can help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
