Prospective Lung Transplant Database for Genetic Research

This study will create a database of clinical and biological research for use in future studies, with information obtained from lung transplant recipients. The database will consist of genetic material and clinical outcomes to be used in future genotyping studies, that is, studies regarding the genetic makeup of individuals. Lung transplantation has become an important option for patients with advanced lung disease. More than 10,000 patients have received them to date, and about 1,200 transplant operations are performed worldwide each year. Although short-term survival has continued to improve, the 5-year survival rate is less than 50 percent. Most post transplant deaths are directly or directly caused by chronic lung rejection, a condition of scarring that worsens lung function. Patients evaluated for lung transplants at Duke University Medical Center may be eligible for this study. For developing the database, a small amount of blood, about 3 tablespoons, will be collected from patients. Blood collection for the research will be done at the same time as blood is drawn for necessary tests. The blood cells and DNA (which contains genetic material) will be isolated for analysis. Patients' DNA samples collected will be identified by a code, and all other identifying information will be removed. Patients may be asked to donate additional blood samples after their lung transplant if researchers would like to reexamine their blood. This study will not have a direct benefit for participants. However, during the study, if it is found that any patients have an inherited risk for a disease likely to cause early death if the disease is not treated, then the researchers will attempt to notify those patients. Overall, it is hoped that information gained during this study will help medical professionals to learn more about immune activation and to see how the reactivity of lung transplant patients changes over time. If specific genetic risks could be identified, it might lead to individualized treatments that work on the immune system. Short-term and long-term survival of lung transplant recipients may thus be improved.

NCT00339209 Lung Transplantation Rejection



There are 2 SNPs

SNPs


1 D299G

We recently completed a study that demonstrated two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile (polymorphisms of the human Toll 4 gene associated with endotoxin hyporesponsiveness) were associated with decreased acute rejection after lung transplantation. --- Asp299Gly ---


2 T399I

We recently completed a study that demonstrated two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile (polymorphisms of the human Toll 4 gene associated with endotoxin hyporesponsiveness) were associated with decreased acute rejection after lung transplantation. --- Asp299Gly --- --- Thr399Ile ---
