The Role of Bacteria and Genetic Variations in Cystic Fibrosis
Clinical Course in Cystic Fibrosis: The Effects of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Potential Modifier Genes
This study will examine 1) the role of hereditary factors in cystic fibrosis; i.e., the relationship of the disease to specific gene variations, and 2) the role of bacterial products involved in lung infections substances produced by bacteria may worsen the disease.
Patients with cystic fibrosis who are being followed by the Medical College of Wisconsin or the University of Wisconsin-Madison are eligible for this study. Participants will have blood tests, pulmonary function tests, a sputum culture, and buccal swabbing (cotton swabbing of the inside of the cheek to collect cells for DNA study). In addition, their medical records will be reviewed for a history of lung infections and the results of various tests, including pulmonary function studies, chest X-rays and bacterial cultures. Blood samples collected previously at the Medical College of Wisconsin or the University of Wisconsin-Madison will also be analyzed for antibodies to bacteria.
Although this is a one-time study, participants may be asked to return for repeated tests.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) are susceptible to chronic bacterial colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which results in deterioration of lung function and, eventually, death. In this study, we hope to improve our understanding of the innate immune response to infection by strains of P. aeruginosa that express type III cytotoxins and to delineate better the role of modifier genes in disease progression.
We will examine relationships between the patient's clinical course, the presence of antibodies to P. aeruginosa, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in suspected CF modifier genes.

Beskrivelse
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
Patients with cystic fibrosis who have a defined mutation in CFTR (e.g., any of the known variants of the CFTR gene, such as the delta F508 allele) born in the state of Wisconsin since 1985 or otherwise followed by the cystic fibrosis centers at the Medical College of Wisconsin or University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Patients will have been tested or will be tested for the CFTR gene under another protocol (96-H-0100).
Patients may be colonized with P. aeruginosa or other organisms (e.g., Burkholderia cepacia).
The age range of NIH participants in this study is from 9 to 80 years old.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
There are no exclusion criteria.

Antibodies to the components of the type III secretion pathway can be used as an accurate measure of acute infection and colonization of the CF lung by virulent strains of P. aeruginosa.
There is a relationship between modifier genotypes and survival or other measurable CF disease outcomes.
