Collection and Analysis of Blood, Bone Marrow, and Buccal Mucosa Samples From Healthy Volunteers
The Hematology Branch of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute is doing a variety of laboratory research experiments that require blood and tissue samples from healthy volunteers. This protocol provides a mechanism for collecting these tissue samples. Research includes studies of normal and abnormal formation of blood cells, viral …
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 …
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sleep Study With Auditory Stimuli
Background An electroencephalogram (EEG) measures the brain s electrical activity. EEG shows that the louder the sound needed to wake a person, the deeper the person s sleep. Researchers are using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study people during sleep so they can view brain activity in 3D. But …
Coronary Microvascular Disease (CMD) Registry
The purpose of this project is to provide appropriate administrative and technical supports for the warehousing and use of a database of patients with coronary microvascular disease (CMD). This protocol will outline the process for identification and capture of data, storage, as well as data use and sharing internally and …
Evaluation of the Genetics of Bipolar Disorder
This study looks to identify genes that may affect a person's chances of developing bipolar disorder (BP) and related conditions.
Tissue Biopsy and Imaging Studies in HIV-Infected Patients
This study will examine tissue from the tonsils, lymph nodes and large bowel of HIV-infected patients to investigate changes in viral load and certain white blood cells during treatment. Normal volunteers and HIV-infected patients 18 years of age or older may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened …
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 …
Controls and Healthy Vasculature Initiative
Background Diseases involving blood, blood vessels, and immune systems are leading causes of death in the United States. Researchers studying these diseases need to compare blood samples from both healthy and sick individuals. Blood samples from healthy people are also used to establish what is normal when developing new tests …
Outcomes and Health Care Resource Utilization in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease Patients Undergoing Non-Cardiac Procedures
The incidence of moderate to severe congenital heart disease (CHD) in the United States is estimated to be 6 per 1000 live-born full term infants. Recent advances in pediatric cardiology, surgery and critical care have significantly improved the survival rates of patients with CHD leading to an increase in prevalence …
Whole Exome and Whole Genome Sequencing for Genotyping of Inherited and Congenital Eye Conditions
Objective: The objective of this study is to identify genetic causes of inherited eye conditions through whole exome or whole genome sequencing. This includes identifying mutations in known genes or novel genes for recognized conditions, as well as identifying mutations in novel genes for previously uncharacterized genetic conditions involving the …
