Precision-Based Genomics in Prostate Cancer
Background Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of death in males in the United States. Researchers want to find additional gene mutations that may increase a man s risk for prostate cancer and may affect how aggressive the disease is. Objective To look at …
Slow Heart Registry of Fetal Immune-mediated High Degree Heart Block
Few studies are specifically designed to address health concerns that are already relevant during pregnancy. The consequence is a lack of evidence on best clinical practice. This includes mothers and their babies when pregnancy is complicated by an abnormally slow heart rate due to maternal antibody-mediated heart disease in the …
Prostate Active Surveillance Study
The Prostate Active Surveillance Study (PASS) is a research study for men who have chosen active surveillance as a management plan for their prostate cancer. Active surveillance is defined as close monitoring of prostate cancer with the offer of treatment if there are changes in test results. This study seeks …
The Role of Wearable Devices in Cardiothoracic Surgery: Predicting and Detecting Early Postoperative Complications
The overarching goal of this research is to use machine learning analysis of high-resolution data-collected by wearable technology-of cardiothoracic surgical patients to assess recovery and detect complications at their earliest stage
Spine Procedures Assisted With RoboTics And Navigation
Creation of a pediatric robotic spine surgery registry will allow for data collection and analysis on the coupled use of robotics and navigation in pediatric spine deformity surgery across participating study institutions. Eventually, an educational and informative framework for this technology will be established.
Collection of Samples and Clinical Data From Patients With Amyloid Diseases
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood, urine, tissue and data from patients with amyloid diseases to test in the laboratory may help the study of this disease in the future. PURPOSE: This research study is collecting samples from patients with amyloid diseases
TrialNet Pathway to Prevention of T1D
Rationale The accrual of data from the laboratory and from epidemiologic and prevention trials has improved the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Genetic and immunologic factors play a key role in the development of T1DM, and characterization of the early metabolic abnormalities in …
Boston Early-Onset Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Study
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often caused by cigarette smoking, but genetic predisposition also influences COPD susceptibility. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic factors that predispose some individuals to develop COPD.
Gene Discovery Core, The Manton Center
The Gene Discovery Core at The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research based at Boston Children's Hospital studies families with rare, poorly understood or undiagnosed, but suspected genetic conditions. The primary goal of the research is to better understand the genes and proteins (gene products) involved in rare diseases. The …
