Find genetic answers for rare, possibly inherited conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or someone in your family) has a rare diagnosis
- The condition may be genetic, even if it’s not confirmed yet
- Your diagnosis could be uncertain or not fully understood
- You are either the person with the diagnosis or a close relative
Quick eligibility check

This study uses genome (DNA) sequencing to look for the genetic cause of rare disorders, especially when the cause is unknown. It may help some families better understand what is driving the condition, using genetic information from the affected person and often their parents.
This study brings together experts to analyze your medical information and genetic data, aiming to find a diagnosis for your rare or undiagnosed condition. If you're a Mayo Clinic patient with unexplained symptoms, this could be a chance to get answers.
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.
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 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.
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.
