We are conducting a research study to examine how genes for (and related to) chemical detoxification of Gulf-exposures relate to Gulf War illness risk, severity, and progression.
We invite Gulf War Veterans who were deployed to the Middle East during the 1990-1991 conflict with chronic health symptoms, healthy Gulf War Veterans, and Healthy others (Veteran and Non-Veteran) to participate in the study.
The participation involves one visit to our clinic at our research facility in La Jolla, CA OR at a Quest lab in your area and will last about 1.5-2.5 hours.
The study visit will include:
1) Assessments such as blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, height, and weight.
2) Blood draw; saliva & urine sample.
3) Health Questionnaires.
You will be compensated $25 for your time and travel and can receive your genetic profile through 23andMe at no cost.
