Study genes that may make people more prone to listeria
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain inherited genetic differences may increase the risk of getting listeria infection (listeriosis) or developing more severe or unusual forms. Results may help researchers better understand who is at higher risk and why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed (lab-tested) listeriosis infection.
- If your infection is not severe or atypical, it may qualify only if you are under 40 and no other health problems have been found.
- You are covered by or benefit from a social security system.
- You can understand the study and agree in writing (written consent).
- If you join as a family member, you must be a close relative (parent, sibling, child, grandparent, uncle/aunt, cousin, or their corresponding in-law equivalents listed in the study).

This study looks for genetic reasons why some people get very serious infections. If you or a family member has had a rare, severe infection, researchers will analyze your DNA to find genes that might make you more vulnerable.
This study looks at genetic diseases that affect the immune system and the brain. It aims to better understand these conditions by comparing patients, their relatives, and healthy controls.
This study looks at genetic-related and blood/biologic markers in people with an inherited (genetic) intellectual disability. The goal is to better understand these differences and how they might relate to the condition.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have—or might have—an increased risk of infections. It also enrolls their healthy blood relatives so researchers can compare immune features; results may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and why.
This trial studies people who have had a life-threatening infection to look for genetic reasons why some infections are so severe. If you or a child had a serious infection—like severe flu, meningitis, or a deep abscess—that could not be explained by a weak immune system from other causes, this study may help find answers.
This study follows people who have a close family member with inherited Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) to understand how the disease develops before any symptoms. It may involve genetic testing and safety-required procedures like brain scans and a spinal fluid test to learn about early changes.
