Filter by:The aim of the SAID study is to create a national resource in Sweden to enable comprehensive immunological analyses of an extremely complex and clinically challenging group of individuals with variable forms of immune system dysregulation. We hope to establish a biobank of primarily blood and fecal samples from children and adults, with confirmed or suspected immune dysregulation, as well as age- and sex- matched healthy controls, for comparisons of immune cell/mediator alongside various clinical presentations of these immunological diseases as well as microbiome samples as possible a possible modifier of clinical presentations. The project will also include the establishment of a national database with deep immunological data, treatment and clinical outcomes for these patients, accessible to participating researchers and clinicians.
Background: Inflammatory conditions can cause symptoms like fevers, arthritis, and rash. Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is one of these conditions. So is adult-onset Still s disease (AOSD). Their causes are unknown. Researchers want to learn more about these conditions. This includes genetic changes and environmental factors. Objective: To study sJIA and AOSD in children and adults over time. Eligibility: People with known or suspected sJIA, AOSD, or similar inflammatory condition Design: Participants will be screened with a phone call. Participants will have 1 visit. It may be outpatient or they may be admitted to the clinic. The visit may last up to 5 days. Participants will have: - Medical history - Physical exam - Musculoskeletal exam - Questions about overall health and quality of life, disease activity, functional status, and cognitive ability. Participants may also have: - Pictures taken of their skin, joints, or spine - Blood, urine, and stool tests - Scans or X-rays of joints with arthritis - Chest X-ray - Heart tests - Skin biopsy. The skin will be numbed. The top layers of a small area will be scraped off. Participants who have a joint aspiration may provide a fluid sample. The joint will be prepared, then fluid is removed by needle. A corticosteroid may be injected. Participants who have a bone marrow biopsy may provide sample cells. Participants may be seen by NIH specialists. Members of the participant s family and healthy volunteers may give blood or saliva samples for genetic testing. Participants may repeat some study tests every 6 months.
