TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS

This study tests a virtual behavioral therapy (Functional Behavioral Training) for children aged 2-12 with genetic syndromes like Fragile X, Angelman, or Rett syndrome who have challenging behaviors. The therapy teaches parents how to identify what triggers problem behaviors and …

This study looks at why people with tuberous sclerosis, a rare genetic condition, develop non-cancerous skin tumors. Researchers will examine up to 400 adults, perform skin exams, and take small tissue samples (biopsies) from tumors. The goal is to identify the cells and genetic …

This study aims to understand how lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) damages the lungs at the cellular and genetic level. Researchers will follow up to 2,000 participants, including women with LAM and healthy volunteers, using advanced imaging and lab tests. The goal is to find the p…

This study is building a large collection of blood, DNA, and tissue samples along with health records from up to 5,000 people with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) or a related condition called lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Participants can give blood or cheek swab samples and allow …

This study aims to discover new genes that may cause certain cancers to run in families. Researchers will collect blood samples and health information from 1,500 people in families where multiple members have had cancer, especially childhood cancers. The goal is to build a regist…

This study looks at how genes play a role in lung diseases like cystic fibrosis, asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis. Researchers will examine DNA from up to 3,500 people with and without lung disease to find genetic differences. The goal is to better understand what causes these cond…

This study aims to find genetic mutations in the brain that cause drug-resistant epilepsy in children. Researchers will compare DNA from blood and brain tissue, including samples from special electrodes placed in the brain. The goal is to better understand the root causes of thes…
