Do you or your child have primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)? This study aims to find out whether mild, moderate, or serious types of PCD are caused by different gene mutations.

Results from this study will help improve the diagnosis and treatment of PCD. This study takes place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Do you or your child have PCD and want to help researchers better understand how cilia are formed? This study aims to identify the genes that control how cilia are formed. Cilia are hairlike structures that line the airways and protects the normal lung. The study will also identify how mutations to these genes can cause PCD. This study takes place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Are you 18 or older, a patient in the PRISMA Health primary care clinics, and got a referral from your primary care provider for a physical activity program? Researchers are looking at how well a 12-week physical activity program works. You will need a referral from your primary care provider to join. The study is taking place in Greenville, South Carolina.

Do you or your child have overweight or obesity? This study aims to find effective ways to prevent and treat obesity and metabolic syndrome in African American communities. The study will test the effectiveness of a family-based comprehensive health and fitness programs involving community health workers. Participants must be 12 years old or older and African American and have overweight or obesity. This study takes place in Charleston, South Carolina.

Does your child have overweight or obesity? This study is testing whether a treatment program called FIT Families can help treat obesity in African American teenagers. FIT Families is a 6-month family-based program that involves home visits by community health workers. Participants in this study must be 12 to 17 years old, African American, and diagnosed with obesity. This study is located in South Carolina.
