Scientists hunt for hidden genes behind mysterious fevers

NCT ID NCT05364294

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is looking for new genes and biological markers that cause systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs), a group of rare conditions that cause repeated fevers and inflammation. Researchers will analyze the DNA and blood of 300 patients to find disease-causing mutations and understand how these diseases work. The goal is to improve diagnosis and eventually offer more personalized treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better genetic tests and personalized treatment options for people with rare autoinflammatory diseases.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study focused on understanding the disease, not testing a treatment. It may not directly benefit participants and results may take years to translate into clinical practice.
