The PREDICT-CD study is looking for better ways to identify which family members of people with Crohn's disease are at highest risk of developing it themselves. Researchers will collect blood samples and health information from relatives aged 16 to 35 to validate a risk score based on blood markers and lifestyle factors. This could eventually help doctors catch the disease earlier in people who are at risk.
Having a family member with Crohn's disease is the strongest known risk factor for developing it. By identifying who is most likely to get sick before symptoms appear, doctors may be able to offer earlier treatment or prevention strategies.

At your first visit, you'll complete a health questionnaire and donate a blood sample (and optionally a stool sample). Every six months after that, you'll fill out a short follow-up questionnaire asking about any new symptoms or changes in your health. The study will run across 28 centers in seven European countries, so you'll participate at a center near you.
