Filter by:To evaluate the association profiles of the lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene polymorphisms with pseudoexfoliation syndrome in the Korean population, Genotypes of lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene were analyzed by direct sequencing.
Patients who have Alagille Syndrome (AGS) also frequently have blockages (or "stenoses") of their pulmonary arteries. Little is known about the degree or variability of these stenoses, or the effect of this disease on the right ventricle (the chamber of the heart which pumps blood to the lungs). This study will first quantify and describe pulmonary artery stenosis in patients with Alagille Syndrome. The study will also assess the effect of these stenoses on the right ventricle. The investigators hope to learn the degree and characteristics of pulmonary artery stenosis in Alagille Syndrome. The investigators also hope to learn the effect of this pulmonary artery stenosis on the right ventricle in patients with Alagille Syndrome. This information is critical in the management of patients with Alagille syndrome, as there is currently no data to guide clinicians on the management of pulmonary artery stenosis. Furthermore, the information from this study may help physicians manage pulmonary artery stenosis in other patients as well.
This is phase I/II protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of WAS gene transfer into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells for the treatment of Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether LCQ908 is effective and safe in lowering triglycerides in subjects with Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) (Hyperlipoproteinemia [HLP] type I). Data from this study will be used to support a registration submission of LCQ908 20 mg and 40 mg as treatment of chylomicronemia in subjects with FCS (HLP Type 1).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of siltuximab, demonstrated by a reduction in red blood cell (RBC), transfusions to treat the anemia of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
Given the lack of evidence in support of pacing self-management for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), it is examined whether physical behavior and health status of patients with CFS improve in response to a pacing self-management program. The effects of pacing will be compared with those observed when applying relaxation therapy to patients with CFS.
Hypothesis: 3,4-Diaminopyridine base (3,4-DAP) improves Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS)-related weakness.
This study randomizes neck and arm pain patients being treated with discectomy and anterior interbody fusion into two groups: one to receive a new ceramic implant and a control group with a more traditional plastic implant. The study will measure and compare pain and disability improvement with the two products over a period of two years. The fusion status will also be judged with plane x-rays and one CT scan.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the natural course of disease progression in Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III (MPS IIIB) patients who are untreated to identify potential surrogate endpoints that may be utilized in future treatment trials of MPS IIIB using predefined assessments including standardized clinical, biochemical, neurocognitive, developmental, and imaging measures.
RATIONALE: Conditioning with total body irradiation (TBI) and fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and anti-thymocyte globulin may induce the engraftment cross the immunologic barrier in the setting of HLA-haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. In addition, T-cell depletion may contribute to prevent developing severe acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) in haploidentical transplantation. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TBI, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin with T-cell depleted graft from haploidentical donors in treating patients with acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome.
