Alphabet blocks spelling out CDGEMMA versatile team of doctors and scientists at the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital, Mass General for Children, and the Celiac Research Program at Harvard Medical School created the CDGEMM study to learn more about each of the many factors that contribute to the development of celiac disease. This long-term, multi-center study will follow infants from birth through childhood with visits that can be conducted at your local pediatrician’s office. Infants can even be enrolled before birth! Explore our website to learn more about how you can get involved.


The CDGEMM Study is currently recruiting infants in the womb or aged up to 6 months who have a first-degree relative (parent or sibling) with celiac disease.
