• 1 other identifier: PRG-040
• Study Type: observational
• Target: N/A
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.

Conditions

Gout

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing

  Relative abundance of bacterial classes within taxonomic phyla and, more broadly, within their domain will be analyzed by sequencing the gut microbiome. These data will then be categorized with Gout

  Three years

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who have been diagnosed with Gout

You may qualify if:

• Signed informed consent, demonstrating that the patient understands the procedures required for the study and the purpose of the study i. May be signed by parent or legal guardian in the case of minor or adult unable to provide consent
• Male or female of all ages. (interest is given to children who present with autism or Crohn's and whose parents wish to analyze their children's gut flora. Also of interest analysis of development of the child's microbiome. In the case of autism, the younger the child, the better to correct the neurological problems if an association is found between autism and the microbiome)
• Diagnosis of Gout by a physician

You may not qualify if:

• Refusal to sign informed consent form
• History of bariatric surgery, total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis or proctocolectomy.
• Postoperative stoma, ostomy, or ileoanal pouch
• Participation in any experimental drug protocol within the past 12 weeks
• Treatment with total parenteral nutrition
