The Rutgers University Study of the Genetics of Kidney Disease


Sponsor

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

Enrollment

50,000 participants

Start Date

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about how genes impact the risk of kidney disease. Anyone 18 or older living in the US is eligible, and a diagnosis of kidney disease is NOT required. Study participation is online, and it takes about 20 minutes to complete health surveys and request a saliva collection kit sent through US mail. In return, study participants may opt to receive information about their genetic ancestry at no cost.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study, run by Rutgers University, is investigating the genetic factors involved in kidney disease. Participants will provide a saliva sample from home and complete an online health survey. The goal is to understand who is most at risk for kidney disease and discover potential genetic causes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older and live in the United States - You can read and follow written instructions in English - You have access to the internet and a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer - You are willing to provide a saliva sample using a kit mailed to your home - You are willing to complete a health survey about kidney disease **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not meet the inclusion criteria listed above (e.g., you are under 18, live outside the US, or cannot participate in an online English-language study) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
