Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Any patient age 1 and older referred by the primary transplant physician for the evaluation of chronic graft-versus-host disease independently of age or underlying diagnosis
  • Patient or the patient's legal representative is able and willing to provide consent.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Significant medical condition or any other significant circumstance that could in the PIs assessment affect the patient's ability to tolerate, comply, or complete the study
  • Patients who in the PIs assessment have a life expectancy \<3 months.
  • Note: Because it is not always possible to make a clear clinical distinction between acute and chronic GVHD, patients with acute GVHD are not a-priori excluded until the possibility of chronic GVHD is reliably excluded on the basis of the clinical assessments in the cGVHD clinic.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because multiple tests would need to be excluded for safety of the patient and the fetus.
  • Inclusion Criteria for control subjects without cGVHD:
  • Age 1 and older
  • Patient has undergone Allo-HSCT
  • Patient or the patient's parent/guardian is able and willing to provide consent
  • Exclusion Criteria for control subjects without cGVHD:
  • Active GVHD
  • In the previous three months have received systemic immunosuppressant therapy for the treatment of GVHD
  • In the previous three months have received therapy for malignancy
