Scientists track 900 patients to unlock secrets of chronic lung disease

NCT ID NCT00943514

Summary

This study aims to learn more about bronchiectasis, a lung condition that causes repeated infections and breathing problems. Researchers will follow 900 patients and some of their family members over time, collecting health information and samples like blood and sputum. The goal is to discover inherited or immune system factors that make some people more susceptible to these infections and to better understand how the disease changes over the years.
