Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA

Biospecimen Description:

Serum, Plasma and Urine as well as Liver samples (if agreed upon as part of the study; may participate in the study without giving samples per Informed Consent)


Estimated Enrollment: 200
Study Start Date: March 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date: July 2011
Groups/Cohorts
Adult Cohort
Adult Cohort of subjects participating at several LABS sites.

Detailed Description:

The goal of Teen-LABS is to facilitate coordinated clinical, epidemiological and behavioral research in the field of adolescent bariatric surgery, through the cooperative development of common clinical protocols and a bariatric surgery database that will collect information from participating clinical centers performing bariatric surgery on teenagers.

Teen-LABS will help pool the necessary clinical expertise and administrative resources to facilitate the conduct of multiple clinical studies in a timely, efficient manner. Also, the use of standardized definitions, shared clinical protocols and data-collection instruments will enhance investigators' ability to provide meaningful evidence-based recommendations for patient evaluation, selection and follow-up care.

In addition to investigating surgical outcomes, another broader goal of Teen-LABS is to better understand the etiology, pathophysiology, and behavioral aspects of severe obesity in youth and how this condition affects human beings over time.
