Natural History Study of Clinical and Biological Factors Determining Outcomes in Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease
Background Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a multi-organ alloimmune and autoimmune disorder that occurs following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). It is characterized by immune dysregulation, immunodeficiency, impaired organ function, and decreased survival. Each year about 8000 patients receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) in North America and …
Thinking and Memory Problems in People With HIV
Background People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can sometimes develop thinking and memory problems. These problems can vary widely, from few symptoms to severe problems with memory and concentration. It initially was thought that good HIV treatment could prevent almost all HIV-related memory problems. However, even people with low HIV …
Natural History Study of GATA2 Deficiency and Related Disorders
Background GATA2 deficiency is a genetic disorder that can cause problems with a person s immune system and other body systems. Some people who have this disorder develop few problems from it. Others can have a wide range of health problems, from skin problems, to hearing loss, to cancer. These …
Natural History, Epidemiology and Pathogenesis of Severe HPV-Related Diseases (Neptune)
Background Most symptoms of human papillomaviruses (HPV) infection, do not cause serious health problems, but some do. As HPV can cause uncontrolled growth of infected cells, some people can develop benign skin lesions, larger warts, genital lesions, tumors or cysts that do not respond to treatment. Researchers want to learn …
Perception, Sensation, Cognition and Action in Humans
Background When people see and hear, the brain changes signals from the eyes and ears into perceptions and thoughts. No one fully understands how this happens. Researchers want to explore how healthy brains process sights and sounds. Objectives To explore how people understand what they see and hear when the …
Genome Transplant Dynamics
Background Some people with advanced heart and lung disease have heart and lung transplants. But the organs are often rejected. When this happens, the organ recipients must have repeated biopsies. These are invasive and expensive. Researchers want to see if a blood test can predict rejection and take the place …
Genetics of Inherited Eye Disease
Background Research has identified some of the genes involved in inherited eye diseases. But for many of these diseases, the genes are not yet known. Researchers want to try to find these genes. They also hope to learn more about how symptoms differ in people with similar gene changes. Objective …
Medtronic Cardiac Surgery PMCF Registry
This registry is being conducted to support ongoing post-market surveillance activities.
Evaluation of Biochemical Markers and Clinical Investigation of Niemann-Pick Disease, Type C
This study will evaluate clinical and laboratory tests that might be useful in determining if an investigational drug can slow the progression of Niemann-Pick Disease, Type C (NPC), a genetic disorder that results in progressive loss of nervous system function. The study will: 1) look for a clinical or biochemical …
Clinical and Molecular Studies in Families With Inherited Eye Disease
Background Genes are the basic units of heredity. When genes are changed, certain cells don t work like they should. Researchers want to try to better understand the genetic conditions that are linked with inherited eye diseases. Objective To try to identify the genes linked to the development of inherited …
