GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO DISEASE

This study is looking at how antibiotics change the bacteria in the gut and breast after a mastectomy with implant reconstruction. Researchers want to see if certain bacteria make infections more likely. About 200 women with breast cancer or a high genetic risk will provide sampl…

This study aims to create a reference database of genes, proteins, and other molecules from at least 1,000 healthy volunteers in the Czech Republic. Researchers will then compare these profiles to those of people with various diseases to find genetic differences linked to illness…

This study looks at the bacteria and natural chemicals in the vagina to see if they can help find ovarian cancer earlier. Researchers will collect samples from 50 healthy women (who still have ovaries) and compare them to samples from women with a higher cancer risk or known ovar…

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 common gene mutations are, and set standards for genetic testing. It does not offer treatment but will help understand hereditary diseases i…

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 up-to-date information about genetic findings. The goal is to see if the tool is easy to use and helps p…

This study follows 1250 people at higher risk for pancreas cancer—such as those with new diabetes, pancreas cysts, or a family history—to find early warning signs in the blood. Participants visit Omaha twice a year to give blood samples. The goal is to develop a screening test th…

This study is creating a huge research network to collect genetic and health information from up to 2 million adults. The goal is to help scientists better understand how genes affect disease risk, progression, and treatment response. Participants will provide samples and data, a…

This study tests a virtual genome center (VIGOR) to help sick newborns in community hospitals get expert genetic care without traveling to specialized centers. It will enroll 750 babies with suspected genetic conditions in the NICU, focusing on low-income and minority families. T…

This study has two parts. First, it looks at genes that may be linked to high blood pressure in Thai people. Second, it tests if a simple breathing exercise called 4-7-8 can help lower blood pressure. About 200 adults with high blood pressure will take part. The goal is to learn …
