Mapping immune system genes in Greek adults
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Mental health, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study maps immune system genes (HLA) in Greek adults. It uses a simple cheek swab sample to collect data, with no experimental treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects multiple types of samples (like blood, stool, saliva, and swabs) from healthy people. The goal is to optimize lab tests for future research, which may help doctors and scientists run more accurate immune-related measurements.
This study looks at how memory B cells (a type of immune cell) relate to antibodies against HLA in people waiting for a kidney transplant. It aims to better understand immune responses, which could help improve transplant matching and outcomes.
This research study collects samples and information from people with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or scleroderma, plus healthy volunteers, to better understand how the immune system works in these conditions. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to find new ways to treat and manage autoimmune diseases.
This study looks for certain immune markers (HLA antibodies) in stored blood samples from people with lupus. It may help doctors understand how the immune system behaves in lupus.
This study measures how immune cells respond when exposed to test “stimuli.” It needs healthy, nonpregnant adults and screens for certain infections and recent illnesses or medicines to help ensure the results aren’t affected by outside factors.
This study looks for genes that may be linked to autoimmune diseases by comparing the DNA of people with these conditions to healthy family members or volunteers. If you have an autoimmune disease or are a healthy person interested in helping research, this study may help scientists understand why these diseases run in families.
