Genetic testing study for Amish and Mennonite community members
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses genetic testing to learn more about the causes of health conditions in Amish and Mennonite people. It may help researchers understand patterns in this community and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be of Amish descent
- Or you must be of Mennonite descent
- You can join only if your family background is Amish or Mennonite
- If you are not Amish or Mennonite, you cannot join this study

This study collects and stores samples and related medical information for people with rare diseases or suspected genetic conditions. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and develop future testing and treatments.
This is a registry (a list of people who volunteer to hear about research studies) for Amish and Mennonite individuals. Signing up lets researchers contact you about future studies you might be interested in.
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 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 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 collects and sequences (reads) your DNA to help researchers understand health and disease. You may be invited because you are connected to another NIH study, and you must agree to testing, sample storage, and sharing de-identified genetic data for future research.
