Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding eczema.
Detailed Description
The goal of this Research Study is to better understand how the genetic information in subject's microbiome correlates to the information provided in surveys and in medical records regarding eczema.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Correlation of Microbiome to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing
Time Frame: 3 years
Relative abundance of bacterial classes within taxonomic phyla and, more broadly, within their domain will be analyzed by sequencing the gut microbiome. These data will then be correlated to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Secondary Outcomes
- Validation of Sequencing Methods(3 years)
