Study population

All subjects with a confirmed genetic disease as well as their first degree family members can participate in the study.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • is obtained from the participant or from the parent/ legal guardian
  • The participant is 2 months or older
  • The participant is diagnosed with a genetic disease
  • The participant is a first degree relative of a subject diagnosed with a genetic disease

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • is not obtained from the participant or from the parent/ legal guardian
  • The participant is younger than 2 months
  • The participant is not diagnosed with a genetic disease
  • The participant is not a first degree relative of a subject diagnosed with a genetic disease
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
