简要总结
Background:
- The Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) is conducting a variety of laboratory research experiments that require blood, bone marrow, urine, stool, and/or tissue samples from patients with a diagnosis of an immunologic, autoimmune, or inflammatory disorder, as well as from their healthy relatives. Donated samples will be sent to the CHI laboratory at the National Institutes of Health to be used in research that may provide more information on the changes in the immune system caused by these specific disorders.
Objectives:
- To collect blood, leukapheresis cells, bone marrow, urine, stool, cheek swab, and tissue samples from patients with immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases, as well as from family members, for ongoing exploratory research studies.
Eligibility:
- Individuals at least 2 years of age who have been diagnosed with an immune-mediated or inflammatory disease, or have signs or symptoms of an immune or inflammatory disease without a formal diagnosis.
- Immediate family members (parent, child, sibling, grandchild) of the above mentioned individuals.
Design:
- Participants will be screened with a complete medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine samples.
- Participants will provide blood, urine, stool, cheek swab, and tissue samples as required by the study researchers.
- Participants who have immune or inflammatory diseases will also provide blood and bone marrow samples collected through biopsies and leukapheresis (to collect specific blood cells).
- Adult relatives will provide additional samples through more invasive procedures such as leukapheresis and bone marrow biopsies. Child relatives (between 2 and 18 years of age) will not undergo these invasive procedures.
- No treatment will be provided as part of this protocol.
详细描述
BACKGROUND
Clinical investigators in the Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) study the pathophysiology of a wide variety of immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases. One of the goals of the CHI is to better understand these diseases and to refine therapeutic approaches used in their management based on knowledge of the underlying pathophysiologies. This requires samples from patients with immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases for such clinical and laboratory assessments. Collection of samples from family members is necessary to identify genetic components of specific conditions.
We expect the great majority of publications from the Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) over the next several decades will be generated from exploratory laboratory research studies done using blood and bone marrow and other tissue samples from such patients and their family members. These publications are expected to number in the hundreds. Ongoing and future research projects depend on the ready availability of samples of blood, tissue, leukapheresed cells, and bone marrow from patients for in vitro studies.
OBJECTIVE
To provide a mechanism for collection of blood, bone marrow, leukapheresis cells, urine, stool, buccal mucosa and/or tissue samples from patients with immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases, as well as from family members for ongoing exploratory research studies.
