Study of cherubism genes and how the condition works
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at the genes in people with cherubism to understand how the condition develops. If you have cherubism—or are part of a family where cherubism is being studied—you may be invited to take part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of cherubism, or be an unaffected family member in an enrolled cherubism family
- If you do not have cherubism, you can only join if you are part of a participating family being studied
- You should be able to be linked to a participating cherubism family for the study team

This study looks at the genes and related body functions in people with craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD). It may help researchers understand the condition better, especially by comparing affected family members to those who are not affected.
This study looks at samples from people with muscular dystrophy and from close relatives, to better understand neuromuscular diseases. You may be asked to provide a skin biopsy for research to help with genetic and molecular analysis.
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of strabismus (eyes that don’t line up) and certain birth conditions that affect eye movement and brainstem/cranial nerves. Your participation may help researchers better understand these conditions and guide future testing and care.
This study looks at body chemistry (cholesterol-related lab findings) and physical features in people with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome and related rare genetic cholesterol disorders. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they affect the body.
This study looks at how a person’s ancestry might influence the facial appearance seen in rare inherited (genetic) diseases. You may be considered if you have unusual physical signs and doctors suspect a genetic cause.
This is a study that follows people with a genetic form of very high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia) and their close relatives. It aims to better understand this condition in real families and how it affects health over time.
