Wiskott - Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare serious medical condition that causes problems both with the immune system and with easy bruising and bleeding. The immune abnormalities cause patients with WAS to be very susceptible to infections. Depending on the specific type of primary immune deficiency diseases, there are effective treatments, including antibiotics, cellular therapy and gene therapy, but studies of large numbers of patients are needed to determine the full range of causes, natural history, or the best methods of treatment for long term success. This multicenter study combines retrospective, prospective and cross-sectional analyses of the transplant experiences for patients with WAS who have already received Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) since 1990, or who will undergo HCT during the study period. The retrospective and prospective portions of the study will address the impact of a number of pre and post-transplant factors on post-transplant disease correction and ultimate benefit from HCT. The cross-sectional portion of the study will assess the benefit of HCT 2 years post-HCT.

The purpose of this study is to better understand multiple sclerosis in children and adolescents, see how it is different from adult MS, and learn if genes, the environment, or both put them at increased risk of getting MS.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immune system abnormality in which bone marrow transplantation has been shown to be curative. However the risks of transplantation are high and not all patients with CGD may need to undergo this high risk procedure. The purpose of this study is to determine the long term medical condition and daily functioning of patients with CGD after a transplant and if possible, compare these results to patients who do not undergo a transplant.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to examine qEEG correlates of suicidal ideations and behaviors (SIBS) (screened by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)) in hospitalized adolescents between the ages of 13-18 years as compared to age-matched healthy participants.

Rochester, Minn.
The primary purpose of this study is to generate pediatric-specific reference ranges that take into account patient sex, age, corrected gestational age, ethnicity, etc., and laboratory variables for various coagulation studies.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to establish reference ranges for the Premier Hb210TM Resolution system in regard to hemoglobins A0, A2, and F for use in providing information for the comparative decision-making process in physiological assessment, medical diagnosis and therapeutic management of patients.

Based on survey data, individuals with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) often experience symptoms of autonomic dysfunction however there are no reported studies in which these patients have had objective testing of the autonomic nervous system. This is a pilot study in which patients with CdLS will undergo the standard clinical testing for autonomic dysfunction with a autonomic reflex screen and thermoregulatory sweat test.
