Find answers for undiagnosed medical conditions using genetic testing
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study helps look for causes of health problems when no one has been able to give a diagnosis. It tests and shares medical and genetic information (with privacy protections) so researchers can better match findings to possible causes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your legal representative) can agree to store and share your medical and genetic samples for this study
- You have at least one clear, measurable medical finding that matches the reason you were referred
- Doctors have already evaluated you for the finding(s), but you still do not have a diagnosis
- Your information can be shared within the study network, and outside the network in a de-identified way
- You may join even if you cannot consent yourself, as long as someone can consent for you

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study evaluates people whose medical cause is still unclear even after genetic tests and other workups. It uses coded health data and lab samples to look for a new or rare genetic cause, and it may return additional (“secondary”) genetic findings.
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 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 study brings together experts to try to find answers for people with rare or undiagnosed conditions. If standard genetic tests haven't given you a diagnosis, this research may help uncover new clues.
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 study is trying to find the gene or body-process cause of rare diseases (or rare forms of common diseases) when the reason is not yet understood. If you qualify, you may be asked to give genetic and health information that could help doctors diagnose and understand the condition better.
