Trial Now Recruiting: Human Biospecimen Procurement Protocol: Biorepository to Support Translational Research to Identify Disease Mechanism(s) (NCT02543996)

WHY IT MATTERS

This biorepository is actively recruiting and could help researchers identify the genetic causes of your undiagnosed condition, potentially leading to better treatments and diagnosis methods for rare diseases.

Researchers at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are collecting blood and tissue samples from up to 10,000 people to study rare genetic diseases. They want to understand what causes these diseases by examining the samples in a lab. People of any age with undiagnosed or heart and lung diseases can participate. Samples can be collected at the NIH Clinical Center or through your own doctor.

NCT ID: NCT02543996 Status: RECRUITING Conditions: Undiagnosed Diseases, Cardiovascular Disease Enrollment: 10000 Sponsor: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Summary: Background: Studies show that rare genetic variants might lead to diseases. Researchers want to collect blood and tissue samples so they can study them and better understand diseases. Objective: To collect blood and tissue samples for studies to identify underlying causes of disease. Eligibility: People of all ages Design: Participants will have blood and/or tissue samples collected. Samples can be collected at the NIH Clinical Center. Participants doctors can collect the samples and sen

YOU CAN ACT ON THIS

If you have an undiagnosed disease or rare cardiovascular condition, you can contact the NIH Clinical Center or ask your doctor if you're eligible to participate and donate samples.
