Long-read sequencing to find hidden genetic causes
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses a new, advanced method of reading your DNA (called long-read sequencing) to find the genetic cause of a condition that has not been explained by other tests. It may help you and your doctor understand what is causing your health problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your doctors think your condition might be caused by a change in your genes, but they haven't found the exact change yet.
- You may be a candidate for a whole-genome test (looking at your complete genetic blueprint).
- You or your doctor believe your condition has a genetic cause.
- You (or your legal guardian) are willing to give permission to participate in this study.

This study helps decide treatment planning based on genetic testing for people whose disease cause is unclear but may be genetic. It’s meant to support a “genomic health” approach, where results guide next steps in care.
This study uses advanced long-read DNA sequencing to find hidden genetic causes of neurological diseases. It may help people who have a known repeat expansion or those with an unexplained neurological condition and willing family members.
This study helps identify genetic causes of birth defects that weren't found by standard tests. Researchers use advanced genetic mapping to look for structural changes in DNA that might explain your baby's condition.
This study uses whole-genome sequencing (a complete read of your DNA) to try to find a genetic cause for unexplained medical conditions. If you have a puzzling illness without a clear diagnosis, this test might give you answers.
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.
This trial uses a new DNA sequencing method that reads long stretches of DNA to find genetic causes of rare diseases. It is for people who have intellectual development disorders or albinism and have not yet gotten a clear genetic diagnosis from standard tests.
