Familial Mediterranean Fever and Related Disorders: Genetics and Disease Characteristics

This study is designed to explore the genetics and pathophysiology of diseases presenting with intermittent fever, including familial Mediterranean fever, TRAPS, hyper-IgD syndrome, and related diseases. The following individuals may be eligible for this natural history study: 1) patients with known or suspected familial Mediterranean fever, TRAPS, hyper-IgD syndrome or related disorders; 2) relatives of these patients; 3) healthy, normal volunteers 7 years of age or older.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00001373 · National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) · enrollment listed as 5,000

What this phase means

This is an observational study. You are not assigned a new experimental drug. Researchers measure what already happens in your care or in daily life.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

What the registry says happens

This listing is observational (StudyType). The registry does not assign a new experimental drug as the study intervention.

They plan to enroll about 5,000 people at 5 sites. Taking part typically means study visits and measurements plus check-ins.

An Exploratory Study of the Genetics, Pathophysiology, and Natural History of Autoinflammatory Diseases

Primary outcome (registry wording): Genetic linkage in autoinflammatory dise

Who it is for (from inclusion criteria)

  • Ages 2 Months to 115 Years
  • In order to be eligible to participate in this study as a subject with known or suspected autoinflammatory disease, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:
  • Stated willingness to participate in study procedures (which at the very least includes providing a mail-in sample for genetic analysis);
  • Regardless of gender, at least one month of age;
  • A medical history that, in the expert opinion of the study team, is consistent with the possibility of autoinflammatory disease; and
  • In order to be eligible to participate in this study as a family member of a subject with known or suspected autoinflammatory disease, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:
  • Relationship, either by blood or marriage, to an individual enrolled or about to be enrolled in the study with known or suspected autoinflammatory disease;
  • Likelihood, in the expert opinion of the study team, that analysis of a sample from the individual would advance genetic or functional analysis of the affected relative's possible autoinflammatory condition; and
