Microneurographic Assessment of Peripheral Nerves in Healthy Volunteers and Individuals With Sensory Dysfunction Caused by Inherited Mutations in the PIEZO2 Gene
Background PIEZO2 Deficiency Syndrome (PDS) is a genetic disorder that affects a person s ability to feel touches and pain. Researchers want to know more about how PDS changes nerve function. Objective To compare nerve function in people with PDS to that in people without PDS. Eligibility People aged 18 …
Natural History Study to Determine Drug Metabolism Phenotype and Appropriate Germline Source DNA in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
Background After an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), the donor genome is found in the recipient s circulation and tissues. Post-HSCT recipients may receive a medication in which the dosing needs to be adjusted based on genetic variation. While genes in donor genome may influence dosing and administration of …
Study to Understand the Genetic Risk of Developing an Immune Response After Blood Transfusions Among Individuals With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this research study is to look at genes and determine how they interact with each other to find changes that could explain why some people's immune systems may respond to blood transfusions. This response is called an alloimmune response. We strongly believe that when someone has an …
ReadMap: Reading in Stroke Alexia and Typical Aging
Loss of reading ability due to stroke, called alexia, likely affects over a million Americans at any given time and causes difficulty performing many daily life functions, such as paying bills, using email/text, reading for pleasure, and reading signs in the community. Understanding the brain and cognitive basis of alexia …
In Search of Best Practices for Patients With Heart Failure and Secondary Mitral Regurgitation: An Evaluation of the Inova Heart Failure Treatment Algorithm
The overarching goal of this research proposal is to study the feasibility and clinical impact of implementing an Inova system-wide heart failure treatment algorithm for patients with symptomatic heart failure due to reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFreF) and secondary MR Aim is to check the effectiveness of the IHFTA …
A Natural History Study of RYR1-Related Disorders
Background Congenital myopathies (CM) are genetic disorders that can cause decreased muscle tone and muscle weakness. Most CMs in the United States are related to the ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) gene. Researchers need more natural history data to learn about these CMs in children and adults. Objective To learn more …
Prevalence of Antibodies and Cytokines in Participants With Chronic Granulomatous Disease
This research study is designed to assess the prevalence of specific antibodies and inflammatory cytokines in adult and pediatric participants with CGD.
Toward Ubiquitous Lower Limb Exoskeleton Use in Children and Young Adults
People with cerebral palsy (CP), muscular dystrophy (MD), spina bifida, or spinal cord injury often have muscle weakness, and problems moving their arms and legs. The NIH designed a new brace device, called an exoskeleton, that is worn on the legs and helps people walk. This study is investigating new …
Cross-Sectional Evaluation of Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 Remnants After Recovery From Acute Infection
Background SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19. Some people who recover from COVID-19 have symptoms that last long after the active infection ends. This is called long COVID. Sometimes, long COVID can affect the nerves and cause problems with sleep, thinking, the senses, and movement. Researchers want to find …
Natural History of Depression, Bipolar Disorder and Suicide Risk
Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, are difficult to treat. One reason is that there are no objective ways to measure how these disorders affect the body and respond to different treatments. In this study, researchers want to perform tests on people undergoing clinical care for mood disorders. …
