This study aims to understand why African diaspora populations have higher rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease by examining their genetic makeup. Researchers will collect health information and blood samples from about 1,100 adults who identify as African America…

This research study aims to understand how analyzing people's genes (genome sequencing) can help us learn about heart disease and other health conditions. Researchers enrolled about 1,665 participants, including both healthy volunteers and people with heart disease, to collect bl…

This study aims to learn more about Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), a rare genetic disorder, by observing how it affects people over time. Researchers will follow nearly 600 participants of all ages with SMS, conducting various medical, developmental, and behavioral tests during vi…

This study aims to better understand Gaucher disease and related lysosomal storage disorders by observing how symptoms and genetics vary among 1,000 patients over many years. Researchers will track participants annually to identify factors linked to disease severity and explore t…

This study aims to understand what causes pulmonary fibrosis, a serious lung-scarring disease. Researchers will collect and analyze blood and tissue samples from about 315 people, including patients with fibrosis, their relatives, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to learn more…

This study aims to create a large database of genetic information from 1,000 people who have already had their genes sequenced. Researchers will collect basic health information and samples, and may re-contact participants for future studies. The goal is to help scientists better…
