Featured Studies

Genetic testing sometimes tells a person or family unexpected results. These genetic test results are unrelated to the initial reason why the testing was done. These kinds of results are called "secondary results" or "secondary findings." If you or a member of your family have been given a secondary result please consider partnering with us on this research.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks healthy volunteers for a study about blood vessel stiffness. In this study, healthy volunteers will be compared with patients with rare genetic conditions that affect the blood vessels. All study-related procedures are provided at no cost and compensation is provided.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek patients with Williams Syndrome (WS) or Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis (SVAS) to join a research study. Researchers want to see how blood vessel elasticity and stiffness affect the heart, gut, kidneys, and the brain in people with Williams Syndrome.

Researchers in the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a study investigating how our brain responds to pain. This study will allow researchers to collect information that may be used to learn more about pain disorders and how we respond to painful experiences.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to better understand how pain and emotions are processed in the human brain and influence by psychological factors. This is an outpatient study that may involve moderate but tolerable pain (while having an MRI). Researchers are studying how thoughts, feeling, and learning influence pain and perception.
