GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO DISEASE

This study is testing a virtual genome center (VIGOR) to help sick newborns in community hospitals get genetic testing and expert advice without traveling to a big specialty center. The goal is to see if this approach works well and can be used more widely, especially for low-inc…

This study is tracking 1,250 people at higher risk for pancreas cancer, including those with new diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, or a family history. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data over time to find early warning signs. The goal is to develop a screening t…

This study looks at how antibiotics change the bacteria in the gut and breast tissue after mastectomy with implant-based reconstruction. Researchers will collect samples from 200 women with breast cancer or genetic risk to see if certain bacteria make infections more likely. The …

This study is testing a new online platform called Nest for young adults aged 18-39 who have had genetic testing for cancer risk. The platform gives both patients and their doctors access to updated information about genetic findings. Researchers want to see if the tool is easy t…

This study aims to create a reference map of genes, proteins, and other molecules in healthy Czech adults. Researchers will then compare these maps to those of people with various diseases to find patterns linked to illness. About 1,100 participants will provide blood samples, bu…

This study aims to build a research network of up to 2 million adults to collect genetic data (exome sequencing) and health information. The goal is to discover how genes influence disease risk, progression, and treatment response. Participants may be recontacted for future studi…

This study is testing a new gene panel called MyeloGen to see if it can find inherited genetic changes that increase the risk of developing myeloid cancers. Researchers will enroll 200 adults with these cancers and collect a skin sample for genetic testing. The main goal is to se…

This study has two parts. First, it looks at genes that might be linked to high blood pressure in Thai people. Second, it tests if a simple breathing exercise called 4-7-8 (breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, out for 8) can help lower blood pressure. The study involves 200 adul…

This study looks at the bacteria and natural chemicals in the vagina to see if they can help find ovarian cancer early. Healthy volunteers (people with ovaries but no cancer or genetic risk) will provide vaginal swabs and stool samples. Their samples will be compared to those fro…

This project will sequence the genes of 100,000 newborns in China over five years. The goal is to create a large genetic database, find how often gene changes occur, and improve testing for inherited diseases. Participants are healthy babies under 28 days old with Chinese parents…
