IRB Number:

07-001086

Trial Status:

Open for Enrollment

Phase: I

Why is this study being done?

The aims of this study are to identify genes critical to the formation of uterine fibroids. Some women with uterine fibroids may have one or more genes that make them more likely to develop uterine fibroids. Sibling pairs who have medically or surgically documented uterine fibroids are eligible for the study.

Who is Eligible to Participate in the Study?

Sister pairs 18 years of age and older, and with a documented history of uterine fibroids.

Minimum Age:

18

Maximum Age:

85

What is Involved With this Study?

Participants will be asked to complete 1-2 questionnaires, and to submit a single blood or saliva sample for genetic testing.

How long will the Study run?

This research involves the study of the genetics of uterine fibroids. Participants will be in the study until they ask to be removed from the study.
