GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO DISEASE

This study has two parts. First, it looks at genes that might be linked to high blood pressure in Thai people. Second, it tests whether a specific breathing pattern called 4-7-8 (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8) can help lower blood pressure. About 200 adults with …

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 both patients and their doctors access to updated information about genetic findings. Researchers want to see if the tool is easy t…

This study is testing a new genetic test called the MyeloGen Gene Panel to see if it can quickly and reliably find inherited risks for myeloid cancers (a type of blood cancer). Researchers will take a small skin sample from 200 adults with these cancers and analyze it for genetic…

This study aims to build a research network of up to 2 million adults to collect genetic and health information. Participants will provide a DNA sample for exome sequencing, and researchers will analyze the data to find genetic markers linked to diseases. The goal is to improve u…

This study looks at how antibiotics change the bacteria in the gut and breast tissue after mastectomy with implant reconstruction. Researchers will collect samples from 200 women to see if certain bacteria are linked to infections. The goal is to better understand infection risks…

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…

This study aims to create a reference map of genes, proteins, and other molecules in healthy Czech adults. Researchers will then compare these maps to those of people with various diseases to find patterns linked to illness. About 1,100 participants will provide blood samples, bu…

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 following 1,250 people at higher risk for pancreas cancer, including those with new diabetes, pancreatic cysts, or a family history. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data twice a year for several years. The goal is to find early markers in the blood…

This study is testing a virtual genome center (VIGOR) to help sick newborns in community hospitals get genetic testing and expert advice without traveling to a big specialty center. The goal is to see if this approach works well and can be used more widely, especially for low-inc…
