NCT ID NCT02927158
First seen Mar 16, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 6 times
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 changes and study how certain genetic traits spread within these communities. The goal is to improve diagnosis and understanding of rare disorders in this unique population.
