Family Blood Pressure Program - GENOA (Genetic Epidemiology Network of Atherosclerosis)

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Arteriosclerosis, Hypertension, Heart Diseases

In brief

GENOA, the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy, consists of a network of three field centers and biochemical and genetic core labs to study the common polymorphic genetic variations to determine individual differences in blood pressure and essential hypertension in 1,500 sibling pairs in three racial groups. Linkage analyses are performed using an extensive array of candidate genes and anonymous markers throughout the genome.
