Genetic testing study for vasculitis in families and children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a detailed DNA test to look for possible genetic causes of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) in children and adults. It may help researchers better understand why vasculitis happens, especially in families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or adult (study includes all ages)
- If you have vasculitis, you need a signed consent to join
- If you don’t have vasculitis, you must not have it, and you can’t be a close relative (1st to 4th degree) of someone who does
- If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you can still join if you consent
- You must be able to understand the study and agree to consent (or have someone authorized to consent)

This observational study follows adults with vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) during an active flare or relapse. It aims to better understand how the disease changes over time and may help researchers plan future treatments.
This study looks for blood test markers that may help diagnose vasculitis and predict how it may go. You may be offered additional blood sampling if you have certain active vasculitis conditions.
This study looks at blood “biomarkers,” or measurable body signals, in people with autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, or autoinflammatory conditions. The goal is to better understand these illnesses and how they relate to disease activity.
This study uses a skin biopsy to look at “gene signals” (transcriptomics) in patients with active vasculitis that shows up on the skin. It may help researchers understand what is happening in your disease and how different types of vasculitis differ.
This study follows people with systemic vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body) to better understand how the disease progresses and what outcomes to expect. Researchers will collect health information over time to improve treatment and care for vasculitis patients.
This is a pregnancy registry that collects information from people with certain blood-vessel inflammatory diseases during pregnancy. It helps researchers better understand these conditions in pregnancy and may guide future care.
