Long-term Observation of Participants With Mood Disorders
Background More than 12,000 people have taken part in research at the Experimental Therapeutics & Pathophysiology Branch at the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Program. This has led to advances in the treatment of depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide risk. Researchers want to follow up with this group to …
Study of Endocrine-Related Conditions and Physiology
Background Endocrine disorders involve changes to glands that produce hormones. Hormones are released by these glands into the blood so they can direct the function of other tissues in the body. Researchers want to study people who may have endocrine disorders. They want to learn more about the conditions that …
Natural History of Individuals With Immune System Problems That Lead to Fungal Infections
Background The immune system is made up of special cells, tissues, and organs that fight infections. Problems with this system may lead to frequent, severe, or unusual fungal infections. These infections are often difficult to treat. Researchers want to collect blood and tissue samples from people who have unusual, persistent …
Natural History of Thyroid Function Disorders
Participants in this study will be patients diagnosed with or suspected to have a thyroid function disorder. These conditions may include: hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance, Graves' Dermopathy, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secreting pituitary adenomas. The main purpose of this study is to further understand the natural history, clinical presentation, …
Collection of Blood From Patients With Prostate Cancer
Background It is not fully understood why prostate cancer in some men becomes androgen-independent (no longer responds to anti-androgen medication), but genetics likely plays an important role. Genes contain the hereditary information that is passed down from parents to children. Although everyone has the same set of genes, individuals can …
Long-Term Follow-up of People Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Background People who have had an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) have bone marrow or an immune system that is damaged. They get stem cells from a donor who is a relative. Researchers want to study stem cell donors and recipients to learn about the long-term effects of HCT. …
A Biorepository of Multiple Allergic Diseases (MADREP) With Longitudinal Follow-Up
Background Allergic or sinus diseases can affect the skin, sinuses, airways, and other parts of the body. Examples include pollen and environmental allergies, food allergies, asthma, and eczema. To learn more about how to prevent and treat these diseases, researchers need to study data, blood, fluid, and tissue samples from …
Natural History of Uncommon Dyslipidemias, Rare Lipid Disorders and Unusual Atherosclerotic Conditions
Background The right amount of fats in the blood (cholesterol and triglycerides) are a key part of a healthy organism. Too much or too little of these fats may manifest as diseases (dyslipidemia). There are many causes for these abnormalities, but some are genetically determined and we would like to …
A Natural History Study of Bone and Mineral Disorders
This study has four objectives: 1) to provide investigators the opportunity to study bone specimens from patients with various skeletal diseases; 2) to treat patients with skeletal diseases at the NIH; 3) to expose NIH trainees to certain skeletal diseases; and 4) to gain more knowledge about skeletal diseases and …
Study of Proteus Syndrome and Related Congenital Disorders
This study will examine rare congenital disorders that involve malformations and abnormal growth. It will focus on patients with Proteus syndrome, whose physical features are characterized by overgrowth, benign tumors of fatty tissue or blood vessels, asymmetric arms or legs, and large feet with very thick soles. The study will …
