\n \n \n \n \"Printable \n Printable Study Flyer (1MB) \n
\n

A study is being conducted for families with siblings or twins in which one sibling has developed a systemic autoimmune disease and the other sibling does not have an autoimmune disease. The goal of this research study is to understand the genetic and environmental factors that may result in autoimmune diseases. Compensation is available.

Frederick W. Miller, M.D., Ph.D. oversees researchers in his group as well as others in national and international consortia that evaluate and conduct a wide range of basic and clinical studies on adult and juvenile autoimmune diseases. His interests are broad and he wishes to understand what triggers these diseases and how to best assess, treat, cure and ultimately prevent them. He obtained his M.D. and Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University, went on to medical residencies at Emory and Stanford, and then did rheumatology and immunology training at the NIH. His work in the field of autoimmune diseases spans over three decades and involves many aspects of the phenotypes, environmental risk factors, epidemiology, immunology, genetics, pathogenesis, evaluation and treatment of immune-mediated diseases. He has focused much of his work on autoimmune muscle diseases.
