GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO DISEASE

This study tests a virtual genome center (VIGOR) to help sick newborns in community hospitals get advanced genetic testing and expert advice, even without specialized staff on site. It will enroll 750 babies in the NICU with possible genetic conditions, focusing on low-income and…

This study is testing a new gene panel called MyeloGen to see if it can find inherited genetic changes that increase the risk of developing myeloid cancers. Researchers will enroll 200 adults with these cancers and collect a skin sample for genetic testing. The main goal is to se…

This study has two parts. First, it looks at genes that might be linked to high blood pressure in Thai people. Second, it tests if a simple breathing exercise called 4-7-8 (breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, out for 8) can help lower blood pressure. The study involves 200 adul…

This study looks at how antibiotics change the bacteria in the gut and breast after a mastectomy with implant reconstruction. Researchers want to see if certain bacteria already present in the breast make infections more likely. About 200 women with breast cancer or a high geneti…

This study looks at the bacteria and natural chemicals in the vagina to see if they can help find ovarian cancer early. Healthy volunteers (people with ovaries but no cancer or genetic risk) will provide vaginal swabs and stool samples. Their samples will be compared to those fro…

This study is testing a new online platform called Nest for young adults aged 18-39 who have had genetic testing for cancer risk. The platform gives patients and their doctors updated information about gene changes that may increase cancer risk. Researchers want to see if the too…

This study is creating a large network of healthcare organizations to collect genetic and health information from over 2 million adults. The goal is to better understand how genes affect disease risk, progression, and treatment response. Participants will provide samples and data…

This study follows 1,250 adults at higher risk for pancreas cancer, including those with diabetes, pancreas cysts, or a family history. Researchers collect blood samples every six months to look for early markers of the disease. The goal is to make pancreas cancer easier to detec…

This study collects blood samples from 1,100 healthy volunteers and patients to build a reference map of genes, proteins, and other molecules typical for the Czech population. Researchers will compare these profiles to find genetic differences linked to various diseases. The goal…

This project will sequence the genes of 100,000 newborns in China over five years. The goal is to create a large genetic database, find how often gene changes occur, and improve testing for inherited diseases. Participants are healthy babies under 28 days old with Chinese parents…
