Collection of Blood for Gene Expression Study in Individuals With Chronic Lung Diseases

NCT00320151 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Blood Collection Protocol
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 3,087
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This protocol is designed to gather a small amount of blood from patients seen in the New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center Pulmonary, Critical Care unit, and 5 West floor (Pulmonary Floor) for clinical care associated with chronic lung disease. This protocol will also survey medical records of patients with chronic lung disease, in order to study the clinical characteristics of these individuals. Investigators aim to understand the genetics of chronic lung diseases, and will use the serum and DNA from this blood to perform various genotyping studies such as such as genomic/gene expression studies of individuals with chronic lung diseases
