Hand Wrinkling Study for CF Carriers
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how quickly hands wrinkle in water for people who are carriers of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene. The researchers hope to learn if this simple test could help identify CF carriers, and your participation could help answer that question.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a carrier of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene but not have cystic fibrosis yourself.
- Your hands must be free of open wounds, tattoos, or missing parts.
- You cannot have certain conditions (like diabetes, severe sweating, Raynaud's disease, or eczema) or take specific blood pressure medicines (ACE inhibitors or ARBs).
- You must be able to speak English and give written consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for a possible genetic link to heat stroke. Researchers will compare heat responses in people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene against those who do not.
This study looks at whether people who carry one cystic fibrosis (CF) gene change have differences in the kidneys and pancreas. You may be able to help researchers learn early effects and better health monitoring for CF carriers.
This study looks at whether carrying one CF gene (being a “CF carrier”) changes the risk of getting respiratory infections. It may help researchers understand how genetics can affect lung health, even for people who do not have cystic fibrosis.
This study looks at how systemic sclerosis (a condition that can cause hardening of the skin) affects hand function. It aims to understand the problems people face and find better ways to help.
This study compares two ways to collect sweat from babies' arms versus legs to see which works better for diagnosing cystic fibrosis (CF). If your baby is being checked for CF, this trial may help improve the testing process.
This trial tests a new skin sensor that measures sweat to help diagnose cystic fibrosis. It compares results from people with CF and healthy volunteers to see if the device works accurately.
