Cheek swab

Participants will be asked to give us a swab (a long Q-tip) of the inside of your cheek (inside your mouth) for genetic testing. This should take no more than 10 seconds. It will not hurt. The swab kit will be provided by Affiliated Genetics. It will include a self-addressed stamped envelope to mail the swab back to Affiliated Genetics. Participants existing x-rays will be reviewed as part of this study as well. We will review participant's medical record to look at what treatments have been executed during the course of participation. Once the individual agrees to participate in this project their private health information will be sent to Axial Biotech Inc., the company that will be doing the genetic testing.
