CELIAC DISEASE
BLOOD SCREENING

Saturday, October 14, 2000
8am - 2pm

University of Chicago Outpatient Facility
Center for Advanced Medicine Building (DCAM)
5758 S. Maryland Ave.
3rd Floor - Room 3F


Goal: This free screening is to determine the prevalence of Celiac Disease
in first degree relatives of Celiac patients. The samples will be processed
at the University of Chicago for a study that they are conducting. (This is
not the same study that the University of Maryland is conducting.) The test
that will be conducted is the Tissue Transglutaminase Test (it will be a
blood draw from the arm). Participants must be a minimum of one (1) year of
age.

Reservations: Reservations are not required. However, the Center would
really appreciate knowing how many people will be coming so that we will
have an appropriate quantity of the necessary supplies on hand. Please call
the CSA/Greater Chicago phone line and leave a message with your name and
the number of participants you will be bringing. (If you signed up at the
Food Fair, please call and leave a message again with how many people you
will be bringing. This will become the official count.) Your help is greatly
appreciated!
