Unlocking genetic secrets: study aims to diagnose rare diseases in plain communities
NCT ID NCT02927158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses advanced genetic testing (whole exome and whole genome sequencing) to find the genetic causes of undiagnosed diseases in people of Amish or Mennonite descent. Researchers will analyze DNA from 300 participants to identify disease-causing gene mutations and study how certain genetic changes spread within these communities. The goal is to improve diagnosis and understanding of inherited disorders in this unique population.
