Whole-genome sequencing for unexplained medical conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses whole-genome sequencing (a complete read of your DNA) to try to find a genetic cause for unexplained medical conditions. If you have a puzzling illness without a clear diagnosis, this test might give you answers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a medical condition that doctors haven't been able to explain yet.
- Your medical records are available in the UW Medicine system so the team can review them.
- You can provide a blood sample or a cheek swab for genetic testing.
- You do not already have a confirmed genetic diagnosis that fully explains your condition.
- You are not currently in jail or prison.
- You have not had a donor stem cell or bone marrow transplant, or active blood cancer that would make the sample unsuitable.

This study aims to use advanced genetic testing to better understand rare and genetic diseases. It may help find a diagnosis or guide personalized care for you or your child.
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 quickly reads a child’s DNA using whole genome sequencing to look for genetic causes of symptoms. It may help families and doctors better understand an underlying genetic condition and guide medical care.
This study is for children and teens (ages 6 to 18) who may have a genetic condition from a parent or an unexplained health problem. It tests a new approach to find hidden risks and help families understand their health better.
This study uses a new, advanced DNA sequencing method (long-read sequencing) to try to clarify unclear or incomplete genetic test results. If you or a family member have had genetic testing that left unanswered questions, this trial may help find more definite answers.
This study uses a two-step genetic test (fast whole-genome sequencing followed by RNA testing if needed) to find the cause of unexplained, life-threatening conditions in newborns. The goal is to get a precise diagnosis faster, which could guide better care for your baby.
