Genetic study of unusual disease in non-US populations
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks for genetic causes of rare or unusual disease patterns in people living outside the United States. If you or a family member has a condition that seems to run in the family, started very early, or has an unusual form, you may be asked to provide a DNA sample and medical history.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or a family member must be older than 2 years old.
- Your doctor must suspect a genetic cause (due to strong family history, very early onset, or unusual severity or mildness of symptoms).
- You cannot have already had a genetic test that found the cause of your condition.
- If you have affected family members, they can join too (as long as they fit the criteria).
- Everyone participating must be willing to sign a consent form and follow study procedures.
- You must not have a condition that is clearly not genetic (like an infection or injury).

This study looks for a genetic (DNA) explanation for rare diseases when usual genetic testing hasn’t found an answer. It may help by re-analyzing prior results and comparing them with parents’ DNA to better pinpoint the cause.
This study brings together experts to analyze your medical information and genetic data, aiming to find a diagnosis for your rare or undiagnosed condition. If you're a Mayo Clinic patient with unexplained symptoms, this could be a chance to get answers.
This study tries to find genetic causes for rare diseases that are not yet understood. It uses a national rare-disease data bank and collects consent from patients and sometimes close family members.
This study collects and stores samples and related medical information for people with rare diseases or suspected genetic conditions. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and develop future testing and treatments.
This study evaluates people whose medical cause is still unclear even after genetic tests and other workups. It uses coded health data and lab samples to look for a new or rare genetic cause, and it may return additional (“secondary”) genetic findings.
This study aims to use advanced genetic testing to better understand rare and genetic diseases. It may help find a diagnosis or guide personalized care for you or your child.
