Mayo Clinic study for rare and undiagnosed conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study brings together experts to try to find answers for people with rare or undiagnosed conditions. If standard genetic tests haven't given you a diagnosis, this research may help uncover new clues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a current or past Mayo Clinic patient.
- You have a rare or undiagnosed condition that standard genetic tests have not identified.
- You are of any age, including children who can participate with a parent or guardian.
- You must be nominated by a Mayo Clinic clinician and selected by the study team.
- You are not participating in another trial that would prevent additional genetic research.

This study collects and stores samples and related medical information for people with rare diseases or suspected genetic conditions. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and develop future testing and treatments.
This study looks for rare genetic conditions where a personalized genetic medicine (an antisense drug) could potentially work. If the team finds a “targetable” DNA or RNA change in your family, you may be followed to see how the best therapy could be planned.
This study looks for genetic causes of rare or unusual disease patterns in people living outside the United States. If you or a family member has a condition that seems to run in the family, started very early, or has an unusual form, you may be asked to provide a DNA sample and medical history.
This study looks for a genetic (DNA) explanation for rare diseases when usual genetic testing hasn’t found an answer. It may help by re-analyzing prior results and comparing them with parents’ DNA to better pinpoint the cause.
This study evaluates people whose medical cause is still unclear even after genetic tests and other workups. It uses coded health data and lab samples to look for a new or rare genetic cause, and it may return additional (“secondary”) genetic findings.
This study tries to find genetic causes for rare diseases that are not yet understood. It uses a national rare-disease data bank and collects consent from patients and sometimes close family members.
