Genetic treasure hunt: 3600 patients help decode disease genes
NCT ID NCT02266615
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study is building a biobank of genetic samples and medical information from 3600 patients visiting the Clinical Genetics department in Maastricht. Researchers will use the stored data to compare genes and discover unknown functions. The goal is to better understand how genetic changes cause disease, which could guide future diagnostics and 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 biobank could help scientists discover new links between genes and diseases, leading to better diagnosis or treatments in the future.
What could go wrong
This is an observational biobank study, not a treatment trial. It collects data for future research, so direct benefits to participants are unlikely and results may take years.
Conditions
