This study will evaluate the impact InheRET™, an online family history gathering and risk assessment reporting tool, has on facilitating National Comprehensive Cancer Network(NCCN) guideline compliant referrals for cancer genetic counseling/genetic evaluation by decreasing and/or removing the barriers of 1) time-consuming in-clinic 3-generation family history collection, and 2) interpretation of the family and personal history in light of current NCCN guidelines. Identifying individuals at increased risk for cancer has been shown to decrease morbidity and mortality in multiple clinical settings. Investigators hypothesize that InheRET will prove to be accurate, efficient, and accessible, and that its use will improve identification of individuals at risk for inherited susceptibility to cancer. The investigators propose also that using this tool will result in a reduction of inappropriate genetic counseling referrals and reduce unnecessary genetic testing in both primary and specialty care settings. InheRET will allow health care providers to focus resources on individuals at higher risk for developing cancer.
This is a multi-site, open- label rollover study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of CTX001 in pediatric and adult participants who received CTX001 in parent studies 111 (NCT03655678) 141 (NCT05356195) or 161 (NCT05477563) (transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia [TDT] studies) or Study 121 (NCT03745287) or 151 (NCT05329649), 161(NCT05477563),171 (NCT05951205) (severe sickle cell disease [SCD] studies).
The proposed study is designed to provide patients previously enrolled in Phase 1 and 2 studies of DCR-PHXC and their siblings (<18 years old) long-term access to DCR-PHXC, and to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of DCR-PHXC in patients with PH.
This study aims to evaluate the electrophysiological properties of the heart conduction system in patients with unexplained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and/or ventricular fibrillation (VF), in patients with specific genetic mutations regarding sudden cardiac death or sudden cardiac arrest, in their family members and in a control cohort. The electrophysiological properties will be measured with the relatively new technique ECG-Imaging (ECGI). Also a National Dutch registry for patients with unexplained polymorphic VT and/or VF and their family members will be created. By combining the data from the registry and the results of ECGI, The investigators hope to identity risk markers for patients at higher risk for apparently idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, and use these for an adapted flow chart for the 'general'population of patients at risk for unexplained polymorphic VT and/or VF. The investigators aim to be able to identify patients before the first arrhythmic event, and aim for better treatment strategies in the future.
Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing (rWGS) has proven to provide much faster diagnoses than traditional clinical testing, including clinical Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and standard Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). This collaborative study seeks to provide rWGS as a research test to additional pediatric hospitals nationwide to assist in the rapid diagnosis of acutely ill children suspected of a genetic condition. The study will examine diagnosis rates, changes in clinical care as a result of a genetic diagnosis, and health economics including potential cost-effectiveness of rWGS. This study will also serve as a biorepository for future research on samples and data generated from genomic sequencing.
The study will involve up to 30 pairs of male and female sexually intimate partners who are carriers for a genetic disease (e.g Sickle Cell Disease or Thalassemia) and at high risk of transmitting the gene. The female partner will be superovulated to mature multiple oocytes which can be fertilized, inseminated with her partner's sperm through intra-uterine insemination (IUI). Four to six days after IUI, the female partner will undergo a non-surgical uterine lavage procedure to recover preimplantation embryos.
