Searching for genes linked to autoimmune diseases
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a diagnosed autoimmune disease (like lupus, Sjogren's, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of arthritis, or vasculitis) OR you are a healthy family member or volunteer willing to be a control.
- You do not have a chronic viral infection such as HIV, hepatitis C, or HTLV-1.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects blood, tissue, and other samples from people with autoimmune diseases like Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, or lupus. Researchers will study your immune cells (T cells) to learn what they are attacking, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
This study looks at blood and immune cell markers (autoantibodies and immune cell “signatures”) to better understand autoimmune conditions, including lupus. It may help researchers identify which markers are linked to disease and how immune cells respond after vaccination.
This study looks at genetic diseases that affect the immune system and the brain. It aims to better understand these conditions by comparing patients, their relatives, and healthy controls.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with rare immune system diseases that started in childhood, and from their relatives and healthy volunteers. The goal is to build a biocollection for future research to better understand these diseases.
This study looks at blood “biomarkers,” or measurable body signals, in people with autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, or autoinflammatory conditions. The goal is to better understand these illnesses and how they relate to disease activity.
This research study aims to better understand systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Researchers will evaluate patients with lupus, study genetic factors, and perform optional imaging tests to learn how the disease affects blood vessels and the heart.
