Scientists track rare family disease for clues to stop organ damage

NCT ID NCT00091871

Summary

This study aims to understand a rare, inherited condition called familial hypereosinophilia, where high levels of a specific white blood cell can damage organs over time. Researchers will follow about 50 family members, both with and without the condition, for many years with annual check-ups and blood tests. The goal is to learn how the disease progresses, find its genetic cause, and identify early warning signs before serious damage occurs.
