SAMPLES_WITH_DNA
Description:
Genetic sequencing and analysis may be performed on the DNA or RNA in some samples (blood and nasal swab). The biological samples may be prepared and, in some cases, analyzed at the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, the UCLA Nasal Swab Biorepository, or the Institute of Genomic Medicine of Columbia University. The purpose of the genetic testing is to find out any genetic (inherited) trait that would make participants more likely to have lung injury. A clause in the consent form addresses future use of data and specimens and participants have a choice to accept or decline this use.
