General Description

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, A Prospective Database of Infants with Cholestasis (PROBE, NCT00061828); Biliary Atresia Study in Infants and Children (BASIC, NCT00345553); Longitudinal Study of Genetic Causes of Intrahepatic Cholestasis (LOGIC, NCT00571272); and A Longitudinal Study of Mitochondrial Hepatopathies (MITOHEP, NCT01148550). Each of these protocols captures robust clinical longitudinal data and collects specimens to establish repositories to support future research.

Objectives

The major objective of this protocol is to augment a repository of DNA from participants and their biological parents previously enrolled into clinical research but for whom a DNA biosample was not previously collected. The acquisition and storage of DNA from participants and their biological parents will make available an important resource for future and ongoing studies that may evaluate etiology, pathogenesis, biomarkers, pharmacogenomics, and genetic modifiers of these rare disorders.

Outcome Measure

None

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria:

  • For child participants:

    • Still followed at the clinical site
  • For biological parent participants:
    • Biological parents of previously consented child participant without collection of a parental DNA biospecimen
