Researchers Seek Adults With Celiac Disease Adults
that have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease are being sought for a
study to identify factors associated with the development of Celiac
Disease. The goal of the study is to find genes that may predispose
individuals to develop this condition.
Adults
eligible to participate in this study must have been diagnosed with
Celiac Disease through a small intestinal biopsy. Spouses may also be
eligible to participate. Participants
will be asked to provide a blood sample, complete a questionnaire, and
provide medical records regarding their celiac diagnosis. There is no
cost to participate. Necessary materials to have the blood drawn by the
individual's doctor, clinic, or lab will be sent. The study will pay
for the cost of the blood draw, as well as overnight shipping to the
lab. Participants will receive free antibody testing and be compensated
$25 for their time to complete the questionnaire and provide a blood
sample. For further information, please contact City of Hope, Maryam Pirnazar at 949-929-5958 or toll-free at 800-844-0049, e-mail mpirnazar@coh.org or Linda Steele at 800-844-0049 or 626-471-9264.
