Are you interested in being part of a study that explores the patterns of brain activity that exist during sleep? Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy adult volunteers for a research study using MRI to study brain activity in adults while they sleep.

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.

If you or someone you know is drinking too much, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) may be able to help. We conduct studies on how alcohol affects the body and are looking for new ways to treat alcohol problems.

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are enrolling people with LAM into a research study. LAM is a rare progressive lung disease that usually strikes women during their childbearing years, between the onset of puberty and menopause. One possible treatment to improve breathing in patients with LAM is inhaled albuterol. Albuterol can be given using a hand held inhaler or with a nebulizer. The study wants to compare these methods to see which method improves lung function in patients with LAM.
