Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Background:

There are many endocrine and metabolic-related conditions. Two well-known disorders include diabetes and thyroid disease. Some of these diseases are caused by a change in genes. Researchers want to identify the genes involved in these disorders. They hope this will help them learn more about these diseases.

Objectives:

To learn more about conditions that affect the hormone-secreting glands (endocrine glands) in adults. To train doctors to diagnose and treat people with endocrine or metabolic conditions.

Eligibility:

Adults age 18 years and older with a known or suspected endocrine disorder.

Relatives ages 18 years and older.

Doctors will review all requests and available medical records to determine final eligibility for the protocol.

Design:

Participants will have a medical history and physical exam.

Most participants will have 1 visit, and may have follow up visits if necessary. They may have tests, surgery, or other procedures to help diagnose or treat their condition. These could include:

Blood, urine, and saliva tests
Imaging tests. These may include X-ray, ultrasound, or scans.
Sleep study
Medical photographs
Visits with other specialists at NIH

Participants will provide blood, urine, saliva, or tissue samples. Some of these samples may be stored in the freezer for future studies.

Participants may be asked to participate in genetic testing. They will give a blood or saliva sample for this.

Detailed Description

This is an observational protocol designed to collect data from adult subjects with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders.

OBJECTIVE: The overall purpose of endocrine evaluations under this protocol is to increase knowledge of endocrine or metabolic diseases. Adults with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic-related condition(s) may be evaluated under this protocol for:

Collection of data for endocrine related conditions (case reports, case series)
Collection of data for future research
Collection of samples, including leftover samples from clinically indicated tests, for future research (including genomics)

METHODS: Patients will undergo a history and physical exam, anthropometrics, vital signs and endocrine laboratory studies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Recruit a diverse population of adult subjects with a known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorder in order to provide NIDDK investigators and trainees with hands-on experience related to the diagnosis, management, treatment, and follow-up... [12/31/2036]
The overall purpose of endocrine evaluations under this protocol is to support our clinical training and research missions.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:

18 Years to 100 Years

Sexes Eligible for Study:

All

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

Yes

INCLUSION CRITERIA:
Participants with known or suspected endocrine disorder age 18 years and older are eligible for this protocol. Protocol investigators will make the actual selection of subjects most appropriate for clinical evaluation.
Relatives ages 18 years and older may be enrolled if clinically indicated for the diagnosis of a proband.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

Anyone under the age of 18 years old
Any medical, physical, psychiatric, or social conditions, which, in the opinion of the investigators, would make participation in this protocol not in the best interest of the subject. Subjects who are critically ill, unstable, or with severe organ failure that may affect/limit the endocrine evaluation and place unsustainable demands on Clinical Center or NIDDK resources.
