Official Title: NEI Intramural Biorepository for Retinal Diseases
Brief Summary:
Background:
- To understand diseases of the retina and the eye, information is needed about people with and without such diseases. Researchers want to study these people and follow them over time. They also want to study body tissues and blood to understand the nature of eye disease. Studying genes, cells, and tissues may help them understand why some people get eye problems and others do not, or why some people respond to treatment while others do not. Researchers want to collect physical samples and personal data to develop a National Eye Institute database.
Objectives:
- To collect health information and blood and tissue samples from people with and without eye diseases, to be used in research studies.
