Clinical Trial Summary

The comprehensive analysis of health records, TCM constitution, biomarker, and whole-genome sequencing among dry eye syndrome, healthy control, Sjögren's syndrome and other inflammation disease in Taiwan: an integrated analysis between Taiwan Biobank and Sjögren's syndrome Database

Clinical Trial Description

Method: This study wants to apply the dataset of health records, physical examination indicators, blood biomarker, urine biomarker, biochemical biomarker, gene sequence, and metabolome from Taiwan Biobank Database to explore the difference among dry eye syndrome (DES), healthy control (HC), and other inflammation disease (ID). In addition, we want to investigate the difference among the demographics, personal health behavior, living environment, dietary status, family history, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) body constitution, hematology test, serum biochemical test, virus test, and urine test. We also want to use the whole-genome genotyping, whole-genome sequencing, DNA methylation, HLA typing, and metabolome to investigate the difference among the genetic variant, gene copy number, single nucleotide variation, chromosomal recombination, and very low-level gene expression differences. It could find the pathogenesis-associated candidate genes and sites, and could apply to clinical diagnosis and drug development after verification and confirmation of efficacy. Integrated the Sjögren's syndrome (SJS) database, we could explore the comprehensive analysis among DES, HC, SJS, and ID. It would provide the evidence-base medicine in TCM in the future.

Expected Results:

1. To evaluate the difference among questionnaire, physical examination indicators, blood biomarker, urine biomarker and biochemical biomarker for the DES, HC, and ID.

2. To evaluate the difference among gene copy number, single nucleotide variation, chromosomal recombination, and very low-level gene expression differences for the DES, HC, and ID.

3. To evaluate the difference among gene variation and TCM body constitution for the DES, HC, and ID.

4. To evaluate the difference among gene variation for the DES, HC, SJS, and ID.

5. To establish predicting modal and biomarker among DES. ;
