Clinical Course in Cystic Fibrosis: The Effects of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Potential Modifier Genes
In Brief
An observational study for Psuedomas Infection and Cystic Fibrosis. Completed, enrolled 76 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study will examine 1) the role of hereditary factors in cystic fibrosis; i.e., the relationship of the disease to specific gene variations, and 2) the role of bacterial products involved in lung infections substances produced by bacteria may worsen the disease. Patients with cystic fibrosis who are being followed by the Medical College of Wisconsin or the University of Wisconsin-Madison are eligible for this study. Participants will have blood tests, pulmonary function tests, a sputum culture, and buccal swabbing (cotton swabbing of the inside of the cheek to collect cells for DNA study). In addition, their medical records will be reviewed for a history of lung infections and the results of various tests, including pulmonary function studies, chest X-rays and bacterial cultures. Blood samples collected previously at the Medical College of Wisconsin or the University of Wisconsin-Madison will also be analyzed for antibodies to bacteria. Although this is a one-time study, participants may be asked to return for repeated tests. ...
