Fetal Ebstein Anomaly and Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia Registry
Ebstein anomaly and tricuspid valve dysplasia (EA/TVD) are rare congenital tricuspid valve malformations that carry among the highest mortality of all congenital heart disease diagnosed in utero. Despite the high mortality associated with severe EA/TVD in the fetus, it has only been studied retrospectively. By prospectively enrolling a cohort across …
Building of a Diagnostic/Prognostic Database for Human ERG Variant Effects
Cardiac channelopathies induce severe heart rhythm or conduction disorders. Mutations of the KCNH2 gene, that encodes the human (h) ERG channel, is responsible for 30-40% of all cases of long QT syndrome (inherited LQT2). Besides, hERG is frequently responsible for off-target effects of several pharmacological agents (acquired LQT2). With the …
Inspiring New Science In Guiding Healthcare in Turner Syndrome Registry
INSIGHTS is a registry research study that collects key information on medical history for girls and women with Turner syndrome and the clinical care they receive. This includes genetic tests, imaging, medications, and more for hundreds of patients seen at a number of clinics across the US. In addition to …
National Collaborative to Improve Care of Children With Complex Congenital Heart Disease
The purpose of this initiative is to improve care and outcomes for infants with HLHS by expanding the NPC-QIC national registry to gather clinical care process, outcome, and developmental data on infants with HLHS between diagnosis and 12 months of age, by improving the use of standards into everyday practice …
Molecular and Cellular Characterization of Cardiac Tissue in Postnatal Development
The study team will use small pieces of human hearts which are removed as part of a required surgical procedure to study different objectives. One of the objective is how calcium ions pass through the membrane of heart cells in order to tell the heart cell how much force to …
Non-interventional Study of Seroprevalence of Pre-existing Antibodies Against Adenovirus-associated Virus Vector (AAV9) and the Progression of Disease in Patients With Plakophilin 2 (PKP2)-Associated Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
This is a multicenter, non-interventional study to observe the natural progression of the disease and to study the prevalence of pre-existing antibodies to AAV9 used for gene therapy in a population of patients with PKP2 gene-associated ARVC. Participation from all patients is encouraged regardless of interest in or eligibility for …
Long-term Safety and Effectiveness of Growtropin®-II Treatment in Children With Short Stature
This study evaluates long-term safety and effectiveness of Growtropin®-II treatment in children with short stature.
RASopathy Biorepository
The RASopathies are a group of developmental disorders caused by genetic changes in the genes that compose the Ras/mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. New RASopathies are being diagnosed frequently. This pathway is essential in the regulation of the cell cycle and the determination of cell function. Thus, appropriate function …
Effect of Fetal Aortic Valvuloplasty on Outcomes
In one of the most severe congenital heart defects, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), the left ventricle is underdeveloped and the prognosis is worse than in most other heart defects. The underdevelopment can occur gradually during fetal growth caused by a narrowing of the aortic valve. At some international centers, …
DZHK TORCH-Plus is a Registry for Patients With Cardiomyopathies and Serves as Source for Cardiovascular Research Studies
The DZHK TranslatiOnal Registry for CardiomyopatHies (DZHK TORCH) represents a unique resource of clinical data and high quality biological samples to enable innovative clinical and molecular studies on cardiomyopathies (CMP). As a multi-center German cardiomyopathy registry, TORCH has been prospectively admitting patients since December 2014. 2,300 patients were recruited as …
