This study collects and analyzes blood, DNA, and tissue samples from people with pulmonary fibrosis, their relatives, and healthy volunteers. Researchers are trying to understand what causes this serious lung-scarring disease by examining these biological materials. The study doe…

This study aims to learn more about Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), a rare genetic disorder, by observing how it affects people over many years. Researchers will track the medical, developmental, and behavioral changes in nearly 600 participants of all ages with SMS. The goal is to…

This study is creating a database of genetic information from 1,000 people to help researchers understand how different gene variations affect health. Participants provide basic health information and samples, and may be contacted for future studies. The goal is to build a resour…

This study aims to understand why African diaspora populations have higher rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease by examining their genetic makeup. Researchers will collect health information and blood samples from about 1,100 adults who identify as African America…

This research study aims to understand how analyzing people's genes (genome sequencing) can help us learn about heart disease and other health conditions. Researchers enrolled about 1,665 participants, including both healthy volunteers and people with heart disease, to collect bl…

This study aims to better understand Gaucher disease and related lysosomal storage disorders by observing how symptoms and genetics vary among 1,000 patients over many years. Researchers will track participants annually to identify factors linked to disease severity and explore t…
