Study genetics of rare bone growth disorders
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at genetic causes of skeletal (bone growth) disorders in people who show signs based on height and bone imaging. Genetic testing may help explain what’s behind the condition, especially when it seems inherited.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A clinician suspects a skeletal dysplasia (a rare bone growth disorder) based on past workup
- You have unusual body height (either too short or too tall) that prompted concern
- Your past scans (X-ray or similar) showed bone changes, along with possible syndrome features
- You are either the affected person or a healthy family member of the affected person
- You have available radiology (imaging) results from your clinical investigations

This study gathers information about people with rare illnesses that mainly affect the bones. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future care.
This study looks at bone (skeletal) disorders to better understand possible genetic causes, especially when phosphate levels or bone growth are affected. You may join either if you (or your child) has a bone disorder, or if you’re an unaffected family member who might help compare results.
This study is trying to find the gene or body-process cause of rare diseases (or rare forms of common diseases) when the reason is not yet understood. If you qualify, you may be asked to give genetic and health information that could help doctors diagnose and understand the condition better.
This study looks at your child’s growth history and performs genetic testing to better understand why some children are very short. It may help researchers identify possible underlying causes and improve care, using blood samples from the child and both parents.
This study uses genome (DNA) sequencing to look for the genetic cause of rare disorders, especially when the cause is unknown. It may help some families better understand what is driving the condition, using genetic information from the affected person and often their parents.
This study looks at how certain muscle and bone diseases show up in people and in their family members. It may help researchers better describe these conditions and improve future diagnosis and care.
