Genetic risk for heat stroke study
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already know your genetic status as either a cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier or a healthy control.
- You must be comfortable reading and speaking English.
- You cannot have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- You cannot have a history of heart problems such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, or hardening of the arteries.
- You cannot be pregnant or taking heart medications like beta blockers or water pills.
- You cannot be in prison and must be able to sign your own consent form.

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 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 how well the body controls temperature during exercise after a past heat-stroke episode, in a military setting. It may help improve safety and recovery plans for people who have had exercise-related heat stroke.
This study aims to create a system that can warn about heat stroke early and predict how patients will recover. It may help doctors better treat people with heat stroke and improve outcomes.
This study looks at genetic (inherited DNA) factors that may influence who develops diabetes related to cystic fibrosis. Your results could help doctors better predict risk and improve care for cystic fibrosis and related diabetes.
This study tests how your body copes with gradually increasing heat. You will be in a warm environment while researchers measure how your heart and temperature respond, which can help understand how heat affects people's health.
