Polyglandular Research at the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes ( April 2005 - present)
Principal Investigator: George Eisenbarth, MD, PhD
Protocol Title: Immunogenetics for Polyglandular Failure
Research continues at the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes on "Immunogenetics of Polyglandular Failure." Principal Investigator George S. Eisenbarth, MD, Ph.D., and his team are studying members of families (adults and children) who have one or more of the components of polyglandular (many gland) failure syndrome. There are many components of this disorder including Addison's disease, type 1 diabetes, thyroid disease, and celiac disease. The goal of the study is to understand the genetic factors underlying Addison's disease and the risk of the disease to family members of people with Addison's disease.
We are inviting families to participate in which more than one individual in the family has Addison's disease. Participation includes providing informed consent and obtaining blood work to look for risk for Addison's disease and other autoimmune diseases. Results are shared with participants.
This research is being funded primarily by the National Institute of Health and is conducted at the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center in Aurora, Colorado.
