This study aims to collect genetic information and health data from 1,100 adults of African ancestry (including African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and migrants from sub-Saharan Africa) to better understand why obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease are common in these popul…

This study aims to find genetic, biochemical, and clinical factors that affect how severe Gaucher disease and other lysosomal storage disorders become. Up to 1,000 participants, including patients, carriers, and healthy volunteers, will be evaluated yearly. The goal is to better …

This study collects blood, DNA, and lung tissue samples from 315 adults with pulmonary fibrosis, their relatives, and healthy volunteers. Researchers aim to uncover the biological causes of this lung-scarring disease. No treatments or interventions are tested; the goal is purely …

This study follows nearly 600 people with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), a rare genetic condition, to learn how it affects their health, development, and behavior over time. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health will conduct detailed exams, genetic tests, and surveys to…

This study looks at the genes of about 1,600 people aged 45 to 65 to learn how gene changes relate to heart disease and other health conditions. Participants give blood samples and have heart tests, but the study does not test any treatment. The goal is to improve our understandi…

This study collects health information from 1,000 people who already have genetic sequencing data. Researchers want to learn how genetic variants affect health and disease. Participants provide medical history, undergo basic health tests, and may give blood or urine samples. The …
