How do DNA changes happen in health and disease?
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study is looking at DNA changes (mutations) in healthy people and in people who may have DNA damage from things like the sun, smoking, past diseases, or treatments like radiation. The goal is to better understand how these changes happen and what they mean.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy adult and can agree to take part.
- Or you are an adult with possible DNA damage from sun, smoking, past disease, or treatments like radiotherapy.
- You must be able to understand and give your permission (consent) to join.
- Children or adults who cannot give consent cannot take part.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at genetic changes that occur naturally in human tissues. If you are already scheduled for surgery or a procedure like a biopsy or endoscopy, researchers may ask for a small tissue sample to study how our cells can change over time.
This study looks at how cancer therapies may change healthy cells in your body over time. By collecting samples before and during treatment, researchers hope to understand long-term effects of therapy on normal tissues.
This trial uses already collected liver tissue samples from adults to study how cells change over time in chronic liver disease. It could help researchers understand the disease better and find new ways to treat it.
This study looks at how genes passed down in families might increase the chance of getting cancer. It collects samples from children with cancer and their family members to better understand cancer risks.
This study looks at DNA patterns in families where cancer may run in families, to better understand inherited (passed-down) cancer risk. You may be able to help even if you’re not sure whether your cancer is genetic—your family history and, if needed, medical records or tumor samples can be used.
This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
