Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA

Biospecimen Description:

blood, urine, saliva, sweat, pleural, pericardial, ascitic, synovial, cerebrospinal fluids

Estimated Enrollment:	5000
Study Start Date:	February 2003
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

Researchers frequently need tissue samples (blood, urine, saliva, sweat, or other body fluid/tissue) to help them understand more about a particular disease or process. This protocol is designed to create the opportunity to obtain such samples that would otherwise be discarded during the course of usual clinical care, or alternatively to obtain such samples during patient screening for other studies.

Eligibility
