Summary: Rheumatic Fever Genetic Studies

For the past 30 years, the laboratory of Clinical Microbiology/Immunology at The Rockefeller University has been studying Rheumatic Fever.

For over one hundred years, the question of whether this disease has a genetic basis remains unresolved. In order to examine this question, we would like to contact the following:

• Families where more than one person has had Rheumatic Fever
• Families where several people in more than one generation have had Rheumatic Fever.
• Twins who both have had Rheumatic Fever
• Twins where only one twin has had Rheumatic Fever
