Volunteer blood donors needed

Our lab is conducting research into the genetics of Ankylosing Spondylitis, a relatively common, inflammatory arthritis.  Our lab is investigating genes that are responsible for susceptibility to Ankylosing spondylitis, and genes that affect severity of disease. We are doing this through comparing DNA methylation and gene expression data of Ankylosing spondylitis patients and healthy individuals.

We are seeking healthy individuals to provide a blood sample at your convenience, and complete a short questionnaire. All details of participants in this study are anonymised.

You can obtain more detailed information about the study from the attached Participant Information and Consent Form (PICF). This study has been approved by the Metro South Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number 1600000162).
