Studying the genetics of kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects DNA and health information from people in the U.S. to better understand how genes may affect kidney disease. Your participation could help researchers find new ways to prevent or treat kidney problems.

- You live in the United States
- You understand and can follow written English instructions

This trial collects and studies kidney tissue samples to better understand what drives kidney problems linked to autoimmune, inflammation, and diabetes. Your participation may help researchers develop better ways to diagnose and treat these conditions.
This study collects and stores kidney biopsy samples (and related information) to help researchers understand kidney diseases. You may be able to join if you are already scheduled for a kidney biopsy and can consent.
This study looks at how genes affect kidney disease in people from diverse backgrounds. It may help researchers understand why some people get kidney disease and others don't, which could lead to better prevention and treatment.
This study collects blood, saliva, or other biospecimens and health information from people with certain medical conditions. Your samples and data will help researchers better understand diseases and develop new treatments.
This study looks at the genetics of breast cancer by collecting DNA from a saliva sample and asking you to fill out a health survey online. It's open to anyone in the U.S. who is 18 or older and can complete the study materials in English.
This study collects DNA from adults with kidney cancer (or suspected kidney cancer), plus DNA from some family members and healthy controls. It helps researchers understand whether certain genetic changes might be linked to kidney cancer risk.
