Functional Studies of Novel Genes Mutated in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia II: Genotype to Phenotype

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to measure mucociliary clearance (MCC) in groups of subjects with the disease Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) caused by mutations in different genes, and compare to healthy subjects. Some of these genes are associated with a milder clinical phenotype. This study seeks to determine if the milder phenotype is a result of mutations in a set of specific genes. The hypothesis is that subjects with PCD caused by mutations in the milder group will maintain a low, but significant rate of mucociliary clearance, while patients with mutations in genes in the more severe group will have a complete absence of mucociliary clearance. These studies will help inform future treatment strategies.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:12 Years to 90 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Yes
Standard Ages:CHILD, ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria

  2. Willing and able to provide informed consent
  3. Able to understand and follow study procedures
  4. Stable medical condition
  1. * Any chronic medical condition considered by the PI as a contraindication to the exposure study including significant cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic renal disease, chronic thyroid disease, immunodeficiency, history of tuberculosis
  2. * Any acute infection requiring antibiotics within 4 weeks of study.
  3. * Mental illness or history of drug or alcohol abuse that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements.
  4. * Medications which may impact the results of the study treatment, or may interfere with any other medications potentially used in the study (to include steroids, beta antagonists, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents)
  5. * Active smoking to include e-cigarettes within 1 year of the study, or lifetime of \> 10 pack years of smoking
  6. * History of vaping or current vaping.
  7. * Viral upper respiratory tract infection within 4 weeks of challenge.
  8. * Radiation exposure history in the past year which would be outside the safe levels
  9. * Pregnant or lactating women will also be excluded since the risks associated with radiation are unknown and cannot be justified
  10. * Use of the following medications:
  11. 1. Use of beta blocking medications
  12. 2. Receipt of Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV), also known as FluMist , within the prior 30 days, or any vaccine within the prior 5 days
  13. 3. Multivitamins, Vitamin C or E or herbal medications in the 4 days prior to the treatment visit
  14. 4. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the 4 days prior to the treatment visit.
