Eligibility Criteria

undefined - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Patients with skin diseases of presumed genetic, immunologic, or virologic origin are eligible. Patients with neurological degenerations are eligible, including patients with inflammatory, neoplastic and viral skin diseases and also heterozygous carriers of such inherited diseases. Volunteers without skin diseases are eligible, except children.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
It is proposed that patients with skin disease due to presumed immunologic, genetic or viral-induced abnormalities, patients with neurological degenerations, and normal controls be evaluated with various in vitro studies of immunologic, genetic, and virologic function. This is to include studies of peripheral blood (cells and serum) as well as studies of skin obtained with a biopsy instrument. In addition, studies of gastrointestinal function will be performed where appropriate.
