Registry for People at Risk for Genetic Prion Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This study is a registry for people who may be at risk for genetic prion disease because of their family history. It involves genetic testing and follow-up visits to track health over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a family history that puts you at risk for genetic prion disease.
- You are willing to have genetic testing and come back for regular check-ins over time.
- You live in the United States.
- You speak and understand English well enough to take part in the study.
- You are able to give your own consent and do not have symptoms of prion disease right now.

This study looks for early signs of prion disease in people who are at risk, using blood tests, spinal fluid, and thinking tests. It hopes to find ways to diagnose and track the disease earlier.
This study builds a genetics “registry” of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease who agree to genetic testing. Your information may help researchers understand why Parkinson’s happens and improve future treatments.
This registry collects health and family history from people who may have an inherited (genetic) neurological condition. It helps researchers understand what genetic causes are involved and may lead to better future care.
This registry collects past and ongoing health and genetic testing information from adults who have had germline or other genetic/blood biomarker tests. It helps researchers learn patterns that may improve cancer care in the future.
This study is a registry (a way to track health over time) for people with a strong family history or certain inherited genetic risks for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors learn how best to monitor and protect high-risk people, and to see who benefits most from follow-up.
This registry collects information from people who have Krabbe disease, people at risk, and close family members. It helps researchers learn more about the disease and support future studies.
