NARCOMS study participation opportunity--Genetic Frontiers in MS |
|

|
I have been taking part in the NARCOMS* periodic surveys since |
|
they began. The latest survey included an announcement of a new |
|
genetic study that is optional for NARCOMS participants. It |
|
involves providing a saliva sample. |
|
This is the FAQ about it: |

This is the e-mail I received from NARCOMS: |

|
[font=arial][/size]We are reaching out to share an exciting |
|
opportunity that can significantly enhance our understanding of |
|
multiple sclerosis (MS) and potentially lead to better |
|
treatments and interventions in the future.[/font] |
|
[font=arial][/size]The NARCOMS Registry has always thrived on |
|
the invaluable contributions of participants like you. Today, we |
|
are inviting you to participate in a groundbreaking genetics |
|
study that seeks to delve deeper into the genetic factors |
|
underlying MS.[/font] |
|
[font=arial][/size]All we need from you is a small saliva |
|
sample. This DNA sample will be a vital component of our |
|
research as we aim to identify genetic markers, patterns, and |
|
potential risk factors associated with MS. By doing this, we |
|
hope to open new avenues for treatment and management of the |
|
disease.[/font] |
|
[font=arial][/size]By contributing to this study, you're not |
|
only helping us understand the genetic underpinnings of MS |
|
better, but you're also playing a crucial role in paving the way |
|
for improved treatment options, better diagnosis methods, and |
|
possibly even preventive measures for future generations.[/font] |
|
[font=arial][/size] If you're ready to be part of this |
|
significant endeavor or would like to speak to a representative, |
|
please email [email][email protected][/email] or call us at |
