Description

Summary

This study involves the one-time collection of whole blood or saliva samples for the extraction and storage of DNA for use in ongoing and future ChiLDReN studies.

Details

The purpose of this study is to establish a mechanism to collect a genetic biosample from the participants and their biological parents previously enrolled into clinical research under ChiLDReN-supported protocols (PROBE, BASIC, LOGIC, and MITOHEP). The samples will be linked to the data previously collected on the participant. Samples will be stored in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) specimen repository and will be used in ongoing and future Network and Ancillary Studies of ChiLDReN to further address the pathophysiology and outcomes of these liver diseases.

Lead Scientist at UCSF

  • Phil Rosenthal, MD
    We have three main areas of interest, all involving malaria, one of the most important infections of humans. First, we study the basic biology of malaria parasites, including the biochemical properties and biological roles of parasite proteases and mechanisms of action of novel antimalarial agents.
