Apheresis of Patients With Immunodeficiency
Background Gene therapy is being investigated as a possible treatment for individuals with immunodeficiency diseases or other conditions that make it difficult to fight off infection. Gene therapy avoids problems with donor identification and possible rejection of bone marrow transplant by using the patient s own modified blood cells to …
Children and Adults With Chordoma
Background Chordoma is a rare type of bone cancer. It occurs in the skull base or spine. Researchers want to study people with chordoma in different ways. They hope this will help them design better future treatments and supportive care studies for this disease. Objective To learn more about chordoma …
Study of Skeletal Disorders
Background There are 461 conditions that affect the bones (skeletal disorders). Many of these are not well understood and do not have any specific treatments. Researchers want to collect more data about these conditions. Objective To gain more information about the causes of skeletal disorders and how they progress over …
Genetic Basis of Immunodeficiency
This study will examine the role of hereditary factors in different forms of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Patients with immunodeficiencies may be eligible for this study. Candidates include: Patients with diminished numbers of T cells or NK cells or both, or Patients with normal T cell and NK cell numbers …
Improved Methods of Cell Selection for Bone Marrow Transplant Alternatives
Bone marrow transplants (BMT) are one form of treatment for disorders of the blood, including leukemia. However, because the procedure is often associated with potentially life-threatening reactions, it is usually reserved for patients with serious illnesses under the age of 60 years old. One serious reaction complicating bone marrow transplants …

Adaptive Optics Imaging of Outer Retinal Diseases
The objective of the study is to collect adaptive optics (AO) retinal images from human subjects with outer retinal diseases (diseases of the outer retina including photoreceptor, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), basement membrane or choroidal pathologies) to develop new diagnostic methods, biomarkers, and clinical endpoints.
National Translational Science Network of Precision-based Immunotherapy for Primary Liver Cancer
Background Primary Liver Cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It is the cancer with the fastest rising incidence and mortality in the United States. Researchers want to learn more about liver cancer to help them design better treatments. Objective To better understand liver cancer. Eligibility …
Clinical, Molecular and Imaging Biomarkers in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA)
Background SBMA is an inherited chronic disease. It affects males in mid to late adulthood. It causes slowly progressive weakness of muscles and hand tremors. Researchers want to learn more about the effects of SBMA. Objective To identify measurements that change over time in SBMA, including tests of muscle strength …
