Loss of Y chromosome in autoimmune and lung disease
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how the loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells may be linked to autoimmune and lung diseases in older men. By joining, you help researchers understand this connection better.

This study is for people with certain rheumatic conditions (like arthritis, lupus, or vasculitis) and for healthy volunteers. It aims to learn more about these diseases and improve how they are treated.
This trial tests a new cell therapy called YTS109 for people with certain autoimmune diseases like lupus that have not improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can help control disease activity.
This study uses a blood test called mass spectrometry to look at the immune system in people with active autoimmune diseases. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
This study builds a health record and blood/skin sample collection for people with rheumatic autoimmune diseases who are getting care at Yale. It may help researchers understand these conditions and develop better tests or treatments over time.
This study collects health information and may store blood or other samples to learn more about interstitial lung disease (ILD) and autoimmune-related conditions. Joining could help researchers understand different causes of ILD and improve future care.
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.
