NCT ID NCT02543996
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to collect blood and tissue samples from up to 10,000 people with rare genetic vascular or cardiovascular diseases, as well as their healthy relatives. Researchers will use these samples to identify genetic causes and understand how these diseases work. The goal is to lay the groundwork for future treatments, not to test any specific therapy.

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could uncover genetic causes of rare vascular diseases, pointing toward future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational sample-collection study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to therapies, and results could take many years.
