Rare disease and undiagnosed case research blood and tissue biobank
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- A provider or genetic counselor must think you may have a rare disease or a genetic condition
- Alternatively, you can join if you are a biological family member of someone already enrolled
- You must be able to follow the study procedures and visit/sample steps as required

This study brings together experts to try to find answers for people with rare or undiagnosed conditions. If standard genetic tests haven't given you a diagnosis, this research may help uncover new clues.
This study tries to find genetic causes for rare diseases that are not yet understood. It uses a national rare-disease data bank and collects consent from patients and sometimes close family members.
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 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 follows adults over time who have a very rare inherited brain disease, or whose illness seems like it may run in families. The goal is to better understand these conditions and how they progress.
This study collects and stores blood/blood-cell samples so researchers can use them for approved future studies. You would be tested for certain infections and health measurements to make sure the collection procedure is safe for you.
