ClinConnect Summary

This clinical study is focused on understanding celiac disease and other similar digestive conditions. Celiac disease is a long-term condition where eating gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—causes damage to the small intestine in people who are genetically prone to it. This affects both children and adults and can lead to symptoms like stomach problems and poor nutrient absorption. Right now, the only treatment is to follow a strict gluten-free diet for life. The study aims to gather detailed information about people with celiac disease or related conditions, including their health history, genetics, immune system, and more, to help improve future research and care.

Anyone being tested or evaluated for celiac disease may be eligible to join the study, as long as they agree to participate by signing a consent form. If you take part, your health information and possibly biological samples (like blood) will be collected and stored in a special biobank to support ongoing research. The study is currently recruiting participants of all ages and genders. This research is important because it helps doctors learn more about celiac disease and related disorders, which could lead to better diagnosis and treatments in the future.
