Participation in a Research Registry for Immune Disorders

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to build a National Registry of individuals with one of the group of primary immune deficiency diseases. A "Registry" is a list of basic information about people who have a certain disease or condition in common. These immune deficiency diseases are thought to be rare and include: Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), X-linked Agammaglobulinemia (XLA), common variable immune deficiency (CVID), DiGeorge syndrome (DGS), Hyper IgM syndrome (HIGM), Wiskott Aldrich syndrome (WAS) and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). We would like to contribute data on a number of subjects with these relatively rare diseases to this National Registry Data Base. The information will be age, sex, race or ethnic group, immunologic lab tests that were used to diagnose the condition, what complications may have occurred since the condition started, lung disease, blood changes, etc. and the results of various treatments used. The goal is to discover basic outcome data, ethnic, racial characteristics, kind of complications and useful treatments. You will not be contacted by anyone unless you authorize it. If a new study about you (or your child’s) immune defect comes up, your doctor will be notified, who can then share this with you to find out if you are interested in participating or not. Alternatively you may elect to be contacted directly by the Registry to determine your interest in participation.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

INCLUSION CRITERIA

Individuals of all ages, gender, and races with an immunodeficiency disorder from NIH studies, and their relatives who share the genetic mutation for the disorder will be accepted for registration.

No healthy volunteers will be enrolled.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

Individuals with immunodeficiency associated with HIV infection, chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive therapies will not be accepted for registration unless there is clear evidence that these individuals also have a genetically determined immunodeficiency disease as well.

Adult individuals who do not give informed consent will also be excluded.
