Trial Now Recruiting: Monogenic Kidney Stone - Genetic Testing (NCT03305835)

Researchers at Mayo Clinic are looking for 6,000 people with rare kidney stone diseases caused by a single gene mutation to join a study. The study will identify which specific genes and genetic changes cause these kidney stones. By understanding the genetics behind these stones, scientists hope to develop better treatments in the future.

WHY IT MATTERSIf you have a rare monogenic kidney stone disease, this trial could help identify the genetic cause of your condition and accelerate development of targeted treatments — and you can enroll now.

New Recruiting Trial: Culturally Adapting an Intervention to Increase Genetic Testing in African American Cancer Survivors

Researchers are looking for African American cancer survivors to join a study about genetic testing. The study will test a new approach designed specifically for African American communities to help more people get tested for inherited cancer genes. Genetic testing can show if someone has genes that increase cancer risk, which helps with prevention and treatment planning.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial addresses a critical gap: African American cancer survivors are significantly underrepresented in genetic testing programs, meaning many miss opportunities for personalized cancer prevention and family screening.
