Family genetic study for eye misalignment and nystagmus
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at genetics in families where eye misalignment (strabismus) and/or constant eye shaking (nystagmus) runs. It may help researchers understand the causes and guide future testing or treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a family member with strabismus, infantile esotropia, or infantile nystagmus
- At least one relative affected with infantile esotropia or infantile nystagmus qualifies, OR at least three biological relatives with strabismus qualify
- Both affected and unaffected family members may be asked to join
- You should not have (or your affected family member should not have) paralytic strabismus
- If you (or an affected relative) have paralytic strabismus, you may not be eligible

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of strabismus (eyes that don’t line up) and certain birth conditions that affect eye movement and brainstem/cranial nerves. Your participation may help researchers better understand these conditions and guide future testing and care.
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of epilepsy in children. It may help your family better understand what could be driving seizures, even if the cause isn’t known yet.
This study uses whole exome and whole genome genetic tests to look for DNA changes linked to inherited or congenital eye problems. It may help families and doctors better understand the cause of the eye condition and guide future care.
This study looks at genes in people with inherited eye conditions and in close family members who may or may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand what causes these eye diseases and how they might be better studied in the future.
This study looks at the genetic causes of rare eye conditions (microphthalmia, anophthalmia, and coloboma). It helps researchers understand why these conditions happen and how they run in families.
This study uses a new, high-resolution genome mapping technique to find genetic causes that standard tests might miss. It may help you if you have symptoms of a known genetic syndrome but standard testing came back negative or unclear.
