This study tests a virtual peer support program for people with type 1 diabetes and their loved ones across Canada. Participants join small online meetings and larger webinars to share experiences and reduce diabetes distress. The program is designed by researchers who also live …

This study aims to better understand and treat people with certain inherited metabolic or genetic disorders. Researchers will use standard medical tests like blood work and imaging to diagnose and care for participants, who may also join other related studies. The goal is to expa…

This study looks at children with suspected or confirmed genetic and metabolic disorders to find new disease-causing gene mutations. Researchers will analyze blood samples for DNA and metabolites, and in some cases take a small skin sample. The goal is to better understand these …

This study at Necker Hospital in Paris is checking how well patients with inherited metabolic diseases follow their daily oral medication routines. About 200 patients (children aged 7 and up, teens, and adults) will fill out a questionnaire during a regular visit. The goal is to …

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study is creating a large collection of blood, urine, stool, and heart tissue samples from 10,000 people with and without heart or metabolic conditions. The goal is to store these samples along with medical information to speed up future research into what causes these disea…

This study gathers medical information from people with MNGIE, a rare genetic disease that affects the nerves and digestive system. Researchers want to learn how the disease progresses and find better ways to measure it. Up to 50 patients worldwide can join, and no new treatments…

This study tests a new communication tool called 'Let's Get REAL' that helps children and teens (ages 8-17) and their families talk together about stem cell transplant or cellular therapy decisions. The goal is to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for families. About 60 …

This study looks at how a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (NR) and a low-carb, high-fat 'ketogenic' diet affect the way the body burns fat and uses energy. Researchers will measure changes in metabolism in 100 overweight or obese adults. Participants will eat a standard d…

This study aims to find the specific genes and mutations that cause rare, inherited forms of kidney stone disease. Researchers will analyze DNA from up to 6,000 participants to understand how these genetic changes lead to stones. The goal is to use this knowledge to develop bette…

This study is creating a large digital registry to find and understand rare forms of diabetes caused by a single gene (monogenic diabetes). Researchers will enroll up to 5,000 people in China who were diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and test their DNA. The goal is to learn…

This study follows 36 people with type 1 diabetes who have received a pancreatic islet transplant. Researchers will use continuous glucose monitors to see if a measure called 'Time in Tight Range' can detect early loss of graft function. The goal is to find a simple way to spot p…

This study takes a small sample of skin, blood, or urine from people with diabetes and healthy volunteers. Scientists will turn those cells into stem cells and then into insulin-producing cells in the lab. The goal is to learn more about diabetes and pave the way for future cell-…
