Shwachman Diamond Syndrome Registry and Study (SDS Registry)
Boston Children's Hospital
Summary
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a genetic condition characterized by bone marrow failure, medical co-morbidities, and leukemia predisposition. SDS-Like patients share clinical features with SDS but lack mutations in known SDS genes. Since SDS/SDS-Like syndromes are rare diseases, data are sparse regarding the clinical features, natural history, clinical outcomes with current management, and treatment. For this reason, the SDS Registry was formed to collect clinical data from medical records and to bank biological samples with the goal of understanding SDS/SDS-Like diseases to develop better treatments and improve the health of patients with these conditions.
Description
The Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Registry (SDSR) is dedicated to accelerating research and treatment for SDS to improve survival and quality of life for all patients with the disease. The SDSR is run jointly by Boston Children's Hospital and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Objective and Aims: The long term goals of the Registry are to improve diagnosis, inform medical management, and to develop better treatments for SDS and SDS-Like disorders. To achieve these objectives, the Registry has the following specific aims: * Characterize the natural history, medical complications, a…
