    I am proud to see other Indiana residents contributing to such a worthy cause and joining in the effort to find a cure for celiac disease.  Two of my sons, niece and brother have celiac; my father (Carmel, IN resident also) died from complications of life-long undiagnosed celiac disease.  We are ecstatic to see that the University of Maryland is dedicated to research on autoimmune diseases which plague families in clusters.  I have MS, my youngest son Grant has Type 1 diabetes in addition to his celiac, and other autoimmune conditions run rampant in our family.   Grant has also endured brain surgery to remove a baseball size cyst, a recent onset of kidney failure, complications from Type 1 and of course celiac -- yet says if ONE could be cured soon, he would choose a cure for CELIAC DISEASE!!!!  Thank you Caffertys, and thank you Dr. Fasano.  Time to unlock the secrets of autoimmune diseases.  Julie Costakis
