The following is a range of studies that have been beneficial for our families' Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia Syndrome (HATS), co-morbidities, and other possible hereditary disorders.
Please note: This site does not monitor whether studies remain open, still accept patients or are completed.
Why should one participate in studies?
Participation in studies is clearly not for everyone. Benaroya Research's graphic to the right includes some reasons. For those with interest and flexibility, we feel participation offers a) the knowledge of helping others with similar disorders, b) the possibility of acquiring treatments that can improve disorders, c) at times, financial incentives and/or travel expenses, d) most importantly, building relationships with researchers who care about ones disorders.
