If you have suffered from endometriosis or preterm labor, you may be able to participate in medical research to determine which genes might be involved with these diseases. Such knowledge could lead to new diagnostic tests, treatments, and preventative therapies. This research is being carried out by Juneau Biosciences in Salt Lake City.
