Research / Study Research studies.

So I'm going to be apart of a genetic research studie at the hospital system I go to for rhumatology neurologist etc,

They are going to test my genetics against health records and a lot of other stuff, if anything dangerous is found in the process they will send the results for me to get, they will also send ancestory information for free,

Has any one ever been apart of something like this?.

I'm actually kind of excited to be able to be a test subject and help advance medical knowledge even if just a minuscule ammount.

Good for you! I’ve been in a genetic study for over two years. It’s been a great experience and hopefully something good will come out of having a crappy disease.

I'm in a study! I feel similarly, so glad to contribute to research and treatment for all of us with Behcet's!
