The Immune Function Study |
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the genetics and immune function of blood cells, and viruses in insulin dependent diabetes. We believe the collection of such information will lead to improved ways of treating insulin dependent diabetes as well as a possible cure or prevention.
You are being asked to be in this research study because the progression of T1D is dependent on multiple factors both genetic & environmental. It can occur at any stage of life but is markedly more incident at younger ages.
An experienced member of our staff will draw a blood sample from you when you consent to participate in this study. Some individuals will be asked to provide stool, urine or saliva samples. Some individuals undergoing surgical procedures may be asked to donate tissues that otherwise would have been discarded.
Your sample will be stored and utilized until the completion of this study.
