Summary: Immunological and Genetic Analysis of Autoinflammatory Genes In Fibromyalgia

You have/your child has been asked to participate in this research study because you have/your child has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) or are the parents of someone diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The purpose of this study is to compare the blood of subjects with FMS to the blood of subjects without FMS in terms of autoinflammatory genes (an inflammatory response in the absence of an obvious infection) and response to inflammatory stimuli. Another purpose is to determine if there are polymorphisms (different forms) of the autoinflammatory genes. Another purpose is to look for relationships between FMS and immunological and genetic data. Your/your child's participation in this study is expected to last 3 years.
