Collection of Blood, Bone Marrow, Leukapheresis, and Tissue Biopsy Samples From Patients and Their Family Members for Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases Laboratory Research Studies

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Idopathic Inflammatory/Autoimmune Syndromes

In brief

Background: \- The Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) is conducting a variety of laboratory research experiments that require blood, bone marrow, urine, stool, and/or tissue samples from patients with a diagnosis of an immunologic, autoimmune, or inflammatory disorder, as well as from their healthy relatives. Donated samples will be sent to the CHI laboratory at the National Institutes of Health to be used in research that may provide more information on the changes in the immune system caused by these specific disorders. Objectives: \- To collect blood, leukapheresis cells, bone marrow, urine, stool, cheek swab, and tissue samples from patients with immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases, as well as from family members, for ongoing exploratory research studies. Eligibility: * Individuals at least 2 years of age who have been diagnosed with an immune-mediated or inflammatory disease, or have signs or symptoms of an immune or inflammatory disease without a formal diagnosis. * Immediate family members (parent, child, sibling, grandchild) of the above mentioned individuals. Design: * Participants will be screened with a complete medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine samples. * Participants will provide blood, urine, stool, cheek swab, and tissue samples as required by the study researchers. * Participants who have immune or inflammatory diseases will also provide blood and bone marrow samples collected through biopsies and leukapheresis (to collect specific blood cells). * Adult relatives will provide additional samples through more invasive procedures such as leukapheresis and bone marrow biopsies. Child relatives (between 2 and 18 years of age) will not undergo these invasive procedures. * No treatment will be provided as part of this protocol.
