Genetic study of HERVs in children with new inflammation
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at certain genes (called HERVs) in children with new inflammatory conditions like Kawasaki disease, COVID-19, or other infections. It aims to learn more about how these genes might be involved in the body's response to illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be a pediatric patient (child).
- Your child must have been newly diagnosed with one of the following: Kawasaki disease, vasculitis, SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19), febrile virosis (fever caused by a virus), or an inflammatory disease affecting the whole body.
- There are no other restrictions—this study is open to children with these conditions.

This study looks at children with Kawasaki disease, a condition that causes inflammation in blood vessels. The goal is to learn more about how it affects kids in Europe and North India.
This trial studies people who have had a life-threatening infection to look for genetic reasons why some infections are so severe. If you or a child had a serious infection—like severe flu, meningitis, or a deep abscess—that could not be explained by a weak immune system from other causes, this study may help find answers.
This study looks at patients of any age with a respiratory infection to learn more about common viruses like flu, RSV, and COVID-19. If you have symptoms and a doctor has ordered tests for these viruses, you can join.
This study tests whether looking at your genes can help doctors understand and treat arrhythmic myocarditis (a type of heart muscle inflammation that can cause irregular heartbeats). It may help find better treatments for people with this condition.
This study looks at why some people have severe or unusual viral infections, even when they do not have a known immune problem. It collects blood and tissue samples to better understand possible inherited immune issues and may help future diagnosis and treatment.
This study uses a detailed DNA test to look for possible genetic causes of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) in children and adults. It may help researchers better understand why vasculitis happens, especially in families.
