Study of how CF carrier status may affect organs
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people who carry one cystic fibrosis (CF) gene change have differences in the kidneys and pancreas. You may be able to help researchers learn early effects and better health monitoring for CF carriers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had genetic testing showing you are a CF carrier (or you have no prior CF carrier test results for the comparison group).
- You are not currently a person diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.
- You can speak English well enough to take part in the study.
- You can provide written informed consent and understand the study information.
- You are not pregnant during the study.

This study looks at whether carrying one CF gene (being a “CF carrier”) changes the risk of getting respiratory infections. It may help researchers understand how genetics can affect lung health, even for people who do not have cystic fibrosis.
This study looks for a possible genetic link to heat stroke. Researchers will compare heat responses in people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene against those who do not.
This study looks at how genes may affect insulin and “incretin” hormones in people with cystic fibrosis. It may help researchers understand why some people develop blood-sugar problems and how to predict or prevent them.
This study looks at genetic (inherited DNA) factors that may influence who develops diabetes related to cystic fibrosis. Your results could help doctors better predict risk and improve care for cystic fibrosis and related diabetes.
This study looks at how the kidneys work in people with cystic fibrosis, especially those taking highly effective new treatments. It aims to understand kidney function in different groups, including those who are hospitalized frequently or rarely.
This study looks at how where your body stores fat may be linked to changes in metabolism and lung function over time in people with cystic fibrosis. It also compares results with healthy people similar in age, sex, and body size to understand the differences better.
