Understanding how PIEZO2 gene changes affect arthrogryposis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific genetic change (in the PIEZO2 gene) affects people with arthrogryposis, a condition that causes joint stiffness. Researchers hope to learn more about the condition to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child have a specific change in the PIEZO2 gene (called a 'gain of function' mutation).
- You are at least 10 years old.
- You are already enrolled in a special registry called PARART for people with arthrogryposis.

This study looks at how changes (mutations) in a gene called ACTG2 affect the muscles that move food through the gut in children and adults with a rare condition called pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction (PIPO). It may help researchers understand the condition better and find new ways to help patients.
This study uses a tiny probe to measure how your nerves respond to touch and pain. It compares healthy people with those who have a rare genetic condition (PIEZO2) that affects sensation, to understand why some people feel touch differently.
This study follows people with a confirmed PKP2 genetic mutation and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) to understand how their condition changes over time. It may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan future treatments.
This study looks at genes (DNA) to understand an inherited condition that causes gradually worsening leg stiffness. It may help researchers learn what causes the condition and potentially guide future care.
This study is creating a registry to track the health of people who have specific genetic changes that cause epilepsy and uncontrolled movements (dyskinesia). It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they change over time.
This study investigates Proteus syndrome, a rare condition that causes abnormal overgrowth of body parts, and related disorders. Researchers want to understand how these conditions develop, progress over time, and affect people of different ages—including how they may change into adulthood.
