Official title
An RNA Sequencing Study in the Framingham Heart Study Third Generation Cohort Exam 2
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: The Framingham Heart Study (FHS) was initiated by the U.S Public Health Service in 1948 and turned over to the newly established National Heart Institute in 1951. The FHS is now jointly led by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Boston University. The FHS currently studies risk factors, and the genetics of heart and blood vessel disease, and other health conditions in three generations of study participants. Scientists want to use the data collected from this study to do more research. They want to use a technique that determines the sequence of ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules. Objective: To study genes related to certain diseases and health conditions. These include heart and blood vessel diseases, lung and blood diseases, stroke, memory loss, and cancer. Eligibility: People in the FHS Third Generation cohort who already attended exam 2. Design: Researchers will study samples that have already been collected in the FHS. There will be no active examination or burden to participants. During FHS visits, participants gave blood samples. They gave permission for the blood to be used for genetic research. RNA will be generated from the samples. They will be given a new ID separate from any personal data. They will be stored in a secure FHS lab. The samples will be analyzed. Only certified researchers can access them. No study participants will be contacted in relation to this project. ...
