Summary

Background:

\- Some research studies focus on digestive disorders, such as nutritional, gastrointestinal, and liver disorders. Researchers want to examine and treat people with digestive disorders in order to learn more about these disorders. They also want to study how digestive disorders run in some families. To do so, they will provide standard care to people with digestive disorders. They will also look at relatives of people with digestive disorders, such as parents, children, and siblings.

Objectives:

* To examine and treat people with digestive disorders.
* To evaluate people with digestive disorders for research studies.

Eligibility:

* Individuals of any age who have digestive disorders.
* Individuals at least 2 years of age who are first-degree relatives of the people with digestive disorders.

Design:

* Participants will have at least one outpatient visit to the National Institutes of Health. The visit will last about 2 hours.
* All participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also provide different samples for study. Samples may include blood, urine, and stool samples. Saliva and hair samples may also be taken. Skin biopsies and rectal swabs may be collected from adult participants.
* Participants with digestive disorders may be able to receive treatment through this study.
