Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing | Three 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 categorized with acne. |
