The Mechanistic Biology of Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders
Background Primary immunodeficiency disorders, or PIDs, are diseases that weaken the immune system. This makes it easier for a person to get sick. Some PIDs are mild and may not be diagnosed until later in life. Other kinds are severe and can be identified shortly after birth. Researchers want to …
Evaluation of Patients With Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Healthy Volunteers
The purpose of this protocol is to allow for the careful screening of patients and healthy volunteers for participation in research protocols in the Experimental Therapeutics and Pathophysiology Lab (ETPB) at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and for the collection of natural history data. In addition the protocol …
Characterization and Treatment of Adolescent Depression
This research study seeks to find causes and treatments of depression in teenagers. The study goals are to increase our knowledge of treatments for depression and understand how the brain changes when teenagers have depression. The study will also compare teenagers with depression to those without mental health diagnoses. This …
Natural History of Familial Carcinoid Tumor
This study will evaluate members in families with a history of small bowel carcinoid cancer to study the natural history of those family members that have the disease, determine ways to improve early detection by performing surveillance on those at risk but without disease and to identify the gene(s) that …
Evaluation of Patients With Immune Function Abnormalities
This study will evaluate patients with abnormal immune function that results in recurrent or unusual infections or chronic inflammation. This may include inherited conditions, such as X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID), chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), and leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), or conditions resulting from outside factors, such as graft-versus-host disease …
Phenotype/Genotype Correlations in Movement Disorders
The goal of this protocol is to identify families with inherited movement disorders and evaluate disease manifestations to establish an accurate clinical diagnosis by using newest technological advances and investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Studies of inherited movement disorders in large families with good genealogical records are especially valuable. Patients …

This will help them understand any changes in cells and genes. These changes might lead to the development and progression of prostate …
Collection of Human Samples to Study Hairy Cell and Other Leukemias, and to Develop Recombinant Immunotoxins for Cancer Treatment
Background Researchers who are studying hairy cell leukemia, and how the disease compares with other disorders, are interested in obtaining additional samples from leukemia patients and healthy volunteers. The investigators are particularly interested in samples from individuals who have diseases that can be treated with a new type of drug …
Natural History and Biospecimen Acquisition for Children and Adults With Rare Solid Tumors
Background Approximately 150 cases of cancer per one million per year are considered rare cancers. While all tumors originate from genetic changes, a small percentage of these tumors are familial. Researchers want to study these changes in biological samples from people with rare tumors in order to learn more about …
