UNIVERSITY 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.  The study has been funded by a
grant from the National Institutes of Health.

 

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.
