Genetics of pulmonary hypertension study
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the genes that may be linked to pulmonary hypertension. By providing a saliva sample and filling out a health survey from home, you can help researchers learn more about this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You live in the United States
- You can read and follow instructions in English
- You have internet access and a device like a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone
- You are willing to give a saliva sample (a DNA kit will be mailed to you)
- You are willing to fill out a health survey about your pulmonary hypertension

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with pulmonary hypertension (PH), a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. The samples are used for research to better understand PH and possibly improve future treatments.
This study looks at lung tissue from surgery to learn how pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) develops in people with lung disease. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and treat this condition.
This study aims to better predict the future risk for people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) by combining different types of health information collected over time. If you join, researchers will track your health data to build a tool that personalizes care and improves outcomes.
This study looks at genes that may contribute to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in people born with certain heart “shunts” (holes between heart chambers). If you have (or your family has) ASD or VSD and PAH confirmed by a heart pressure test, you may be invited to share genetic and health information to help researchers understand risk and better target future care.
This study collects information from people with rare types of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) and from healthy volunteers. It helps researchers better understand these conditions, especially using a special lung-heart test to confirm the diagnosis.
This observational study is looking at people diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension to better understand how it behaves over time. You may help researchers by allowing repeated check-ins for years and sharing symptom and test information.
