Genetics study for inherited eye conditions
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at genes in people with inherited eye conditions and in close family members who may or may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand what causes these eye diseases and how they might be better studied in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a known or suspected inherited eye disease, or you’re a close (usually first-degree) relative of someone who does
- You can take part in an age-appropriate eye exam
- You can sign consent yourself (or a parent/guardian/legal representative can sign for you)
- You’re willing and able to come back for follow-up visits as the study team requests
- Your eye condition is not clearly caused by non-genetic causes (unless you’re the unaffected relative)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses whole exome and whole genome genetic tests to look for DNA changes linked to inherited or congenital eye problems. It may help families and doctors better understand the cause of the eye condition and guide future care.
This study collects DNA samples and medical information from people with rare inherited eye diseases and their close relatives. The goal is to learn more about the genetic causes of these conditions and improve diagnosis and care.
This trial is a general screening step for people who may have an eye (ocular) condition, or for family members of someone with an eye condition. The goal is to help match you to an eye research study by confirming your situation and whether you can safely participate.
This study follows people with eye conditions (including when the diagnosis is unclear) to learn what causes them and how they change. It may help by giving you closer eye evaluations and contributing knowledge that could improve care for future patients.
This study looks at how genes may cause certain eye conditions called microphthalmia, anophthalmia, and uveal coloboma. You may qualify if you have one of these conditions or are a close, unaffected relative who could also carry the gene.
This research study evaluates people with inherited neurological conditions (nervous system disorders that run in families) and their relatives. Researchers aim to better understand these conditions and improve diagnosis through clinical exams and genetic testing.
