UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS SEEK PARTICIPANTS WITH

CELIAC DISEASE 

 

 

Individuals 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 and their relatives to develop the condition.
The study has been funded by a grant from the National Institutes of
Health.

 

Individuals eligible to participate in this study must have been
diagnosed with celiac sprue through a small intestinal biopsy AND either
a positive transglutaminase (tTG) antibody test or a positive endomysial
(EMA) antibody test. Spouses may also be eligible to participate. 

 

Participants will be asked to provide a blood sample and some medical,
diet, and family history information. There is no cost to participate.
Necessary materials to have the blood drawn by the individual's doctor,
clinic, or lab will be sent.  We will pay for the cost of the blood
draw, as well as over-night shipping to our lab. Participants will
receive a free antibody test for screening of celiac disease.

University of California, Irvine at (949) 824-5603 or toll-free at (866)
