Filter by:Background: X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a genetic condition. It usually presents in boys in childhood with vision loss. Genetic conditions affect the people who have it and also their family members. Researchers want to learn if mothers and fathers react differently when a son gets XLRS. They also want to learn how personality impacts the way people react. This will help researchers find better ways to support families living with XLRS. Objective: To learn more about the experiences of mothers of sons with XLRS compared to fathers of sons with XLRS. Also to study personality differences between mothers and fathers. Eligibility: Parents of a biological son of any age with XLRS who is enrolled in protocol 03-EI-0033 Design: Participants will be asked questions in person or by phone. This will last 30 90 minutes. They will be asked about their experience with XLRS and how it has impacted their family. The interview will be recorded. Participants will complete a survey about personality traits. It will be anonymous. It can be completed by mail, email, or fax. It will take about 15 minutes. Participants data may be shared with others, including those not at NIH, if they agree. Their data may be stored. Sponsoring Institution: National Eye Institute
Background: -X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is an inherited eye condition. Researchers want to learn more about how people with XLRS choose to take part in research studies. They hope to find ways to help other people make decisions about joining early phase trials Objective: -To learn more about how people think and feel about taking part in early phase research. Eligibility: -Adults age 18 or older with diagnosed XLRS. They must be eligible to be screened for a Phase I/II ocular gene transfer clinical trial. Design: - Participants will be screened for the XLRS gene transfer study. They will be interviewed: - Eligible participants who join the study - before the gene transfer procedure, then 3 months and 12 months after it. - Eligible participants who do not join the study - after their screening visit and 3 months and 12 months later. <TAB>- Participants who are screened but ineligible - after their screening visit. <TAB>- Participants who choose not to be screened - at the time they make the decision and 1 year later. - Interviews will ask for the participants thoughts about the clinical trial and why they chose to take part or not. The interviews will be recorded. - On the day of interview 1, participants will fill out a survey about their mood and personality. - On the days of interviews 2 and 3, participants will fill out a survey about their mood. - Interviews may be done in person or by phone. Surveys can be done online or through the mail. Or they can be done in person at the NIH Clinical Center.
