Ascertainment of Families for Genetic Studies of Familial Lymphoproliferative Disorders
The purpose of this study is to better understand the genetic causes of Hodgkin's disease (a kind of lymphoma) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as multiple myeloma, leukemia, and related diseases. The doctors have identified the patient because 1) they have had a lymphoproliferative disorder such as lymphoma, leukemia, or …
Biopsy After Radioembolization to Identify Changes in Tumor Cells From the Radiation
The purpose of this study is to study the way radioembolization works by collecting biopsy samples of participants' tumors after the procedure. This research may improve the way that radioembolization is performed, which could help people whose cancer has spread to the liver. The research may also provide information about …
Measuring Physical Activity With ActivPal
This study measures the level of physical activity in participants with neuromuscular disorders. The patient wears a small button like meter on their leg for a period of 1 week every 6 months over a period of 3 years. Participants will also have a physical exam, six minute walk test,vital …
FOXP1 Syndrome: The Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment is Characterizing FOXP1-related Neurodevelopmental Disorders Using Genetic, Medical, and Neuropsychological Measures.
FOXP1, also known as Forkhead-box Protein P1, is a transcription factor protein belonging to the FOX gene family. Disruptions in the FOXP1 gene cause a phenotype characterized by global developmental delay, speech deficits, mild dysmorphic features, and traits of autism spectrum disorder. This study seeks to characterize FOXP1-related neurodevelopmental disorders …
Effect of Cooling on Balance Performance in Multiple Sclerosis
The goal of this observational study to examine the effects of cooling on balance in persons with Multiple Sclerosis. Persons with Multiple Sclerosis frequently have problems with balance leading to falls and related injuries, as well as avoidance of activities that may challenge balance. Persons with Multiple Sclerosis are also …
Study of a Communication Training Intervention for Large B-Cell Lymphoma Providers
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a new communication training intervention called Hematolo-GIST to help oncologists communicate with patients about their lymphoma diagnosis and advance care planning.
Generation of Heart Muscle Cells From Blood or Skin Cells of Breast Cancer Patients
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether cells from a biopsy taken from the patient skin can be transformed into cardiomyocytes the changes in cardiomyocyte (heart muscle cells) when grown in a special culture medium outside of the body. The structure and function of these cells will then …
Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) to Guide Iron Chelating Therapy
The overall goal of this research is to help develop a new magnetic resonance (MR) method, Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM), to improve the measurement of liver iron concentrations without the need for a liver biopsy. Measurement of liver iron is important to diagnose and treat patients who have too much …
Responses to Genetic Risk Modifier Testing Among Women With BRCA1/2 Mutations
The purpose of this study is to describe how women with BRCA1/2 mutations react to genetic risk modifier testing, and to examine how they make decisions about their healthcare.
Identification of Acute Intermittent Porphyria Modifying Genes
This study proposes to identify the predisposing/protective modifying genes that underlie the acute attacks in symptomatic patients with Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP), an autosomal dominant inborn error of heme biosynthesis.
