Whole Blood Biospecimen Collection for Subjects With Fanconi Anemia

April 16, 2024 updated by: Sanguine Biosciences
The primary study objective is to collect biospecimen samples (e.g., blood) from participants diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia. The biospecimens will be used to create a biorepository that can be used to identify disease associated biomarkers and potential targets with immune and multi-omics profiling. The disease sample collection and analysis will be the foundation for an extensive network of biospecimen access and linked datasets for future translational research.

Detailed Description

Biorepositories or biobanks are libraries that store, catalog, and manage biospecimen samples for use in research. Historically, medical organizations have used biorepositories for over a century for clinical reference, teaching, public health study, and research. The Department of Defense has maintained a repository since the Civil War to expand disease knowledge and develop medical countermeasures.2 The biospecimens housed in these repositories may include tissue, blood, urine, saliva, and plasma, among other sample types. These biospecimens are provided by donors, which may be healthy, diseased, or familial samples. The samples often accompany donor/patient information about their medical condition and demographic parameters. Biorepositories are used to understand diseases, therapeutic development, and population health monitoring. The biospecimen samples are collected, processed, stored, and distributed to support current use and future scientific investigations. The original intent of establishing the repository defines the nature of the samples and related data that will be available to investigators. However, this does not limit the use of the stored samples, and often outside researchers request samples to further expand on the scientific investigation of the sample.

The primary objective of this study is to develop a biorepository to identify disease associated biomarkers and potential targets with immune and multi-omics profiling. Biomarkers are defined as characteristics that are objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.3 Biomarkers can be found in biospecimens but are not inclusive and can expand to other measures, such as pulse and blood pressure.3 The biomarker development process comprises multiple steps: discovery, analytical validation, evaluation of clinical utility, and clinical use.4 Blood biomarkers guide clinical decision-making and can improve the diagnosis and management of people with various diseases. Immune profiling analyzes immune health at a cellular or serological level to identify immunologic signatures, such as immune-cell-associated genes, proteins, and cells.5, 6 Biospecimen immune profiling can help predict clinical outcomes and therapeutic options and development. Omics is an application in research that began with genomics and has expanded to other research areas. Omics is the comprehensive study of the roles, relationships, and actions of various types of molecules in cells or organisms.7 Multi-omics is three or more omic datasets coming from different levels of biological regulation.8 Multi-omics data broadly covers genome, proteome, transcriptome, metabolome, and epigenome.9 Omics can be further extended to other biological data such as lipidome, phosphoproteome, and glycol-proteome.9 Multi-omics can support researchers inthe discovery of predictive or prognostic biomarkers and novel drug targets. Multi-omics can increase the diagnostic yield for health and improve disease prognosis.

The biospecimen subtypes for this study include whole blood from people diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia. The global prevalence and rising burden of Fanconi Anemia is a worldwide healthcare concern. Fanconi anemia is a very rare type of anemia. Overall, an average of 1 out of 136,000 newborns has Fanconi anemia, and it varies from 1 in 100,000 to 250,000 births. European registries and data reveal the prevalence of Fanconi anemia is just 4-7 per million live births.10 The collection and analysis of samples from the diseased specimens will be used for translational research in therapeutic development and a better understanding of the disease to improve health outcomes.
