| The IU School of Medicine in Indianapolis is seeking biological brothers for a research study to evaluate the genetic link to osteoporosis, a common and often debilitating disease characterized by bone loss. The study will involve 1,400 biological brothers between the ages of 20 and 60 with no apparent health problems.
Participants will be required to make one four-hour visit to the IU Medical Center for free bone density measurements, cholesterol and blood pressure screenings and a blood draw. Compensation will be provided. To participate in the brothers' study, call 317-274-0950. | |
