Myositis diseases are each rare diseases. As in other rare diseases, people living with myositis diseases face physical and psychosocial challenges that may not be recognized in current research priorities. The PRISMS study is a global investigation that collects patient perspectives through (mostly online) methods of open-ended questions, community forums and survey to identify the most pressing research concerns as identified by patients. Findings will be analyzed to create a patient-voiced set of research priorities that can guide the direction of research and help inform funding decisions across myositis diseases.

The Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Global Patient Survey and Collaboration Program (SDS-GPS) is an opportunity for patients and their families - from anywhere in the world - to share their experience living with SDS via a safe, secure, and convenient online platform, to * expand the understanding of SDS * improve the lives of people with SDS, and * accelerate the development of new therapies and cures for SDS. By joining, participants will receive early access to relevant information about new clinical trials and other research opportunities (such as clinical registries) based on their profile, accelerating research and increasing clinical trial impact and recruitment success. The platform, consent forms, and surveys are available in five languages: English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. More languages to come.
NCT01634750
Background: \- Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in a gene called GNE. This gene is responsible for producing a sugar called sialic acid. Low levels of sialic acid may cause muscle problems. Symptoms of HIBM include walking difficulties and muscle weakness, which usually start in a person s 20s or 30s and become worse over time. Researchers are studying a drug called ManNAc. It may be useful for treating HIBM. However, this drug is still being tested. Researchers want to see how ManNAc is absorbed into and removed from the blood. They will not be looking specifically at whether ManNAc can stop or slow the symptoms of HIBM. Objectives: * \<TAB\>To study how MaNAc is absorbed into and removed from the blood in people with HIBM. * \<TAB\>To study of safety of ManNAc in people with HIBM. Eligibility: \- Individuals between 18 and 70 years of age who have HIBM. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. * Participants will have a 3 to 4-day inpatient stay for the main part of the study. * Participants will be divided into groups of six. In each group, four will take ManNAc and two will take a placebo. Participants will not know which one they will receive. * Participants will have a single dose of either ManNAc or placebo. They will be monitored for any possible side effects. Frequent blood samples will be collected during the 4-day stay. * No treatment for HIBM will be provided as part of this study.
