| Extramural, Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities-Neurocognitive Study The ARIC Neurocognitive Study will identify risk factors for dementia, MCI, and cognitive decline in the bi-ethnic prospective ARIC cohort in order to provide the means for identifying groups at greater risk for dementia who might benefit from risk factor modification., NIH/NHLBI/NINDS/NIA National Heart | 07/2010 - 04/2014 |
| Extramural, Predictors of Coronary Artery Calcification in an African-American Cohort-This study is an ancillary study to the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy (GENOA), one of the NHLBI-Family blood Pressure Program networks. The study will identify and characterize risk factors including genes that contribute to coronary artery calcification (CAC). We will compare the prevalence and quantity of CAC as well as CAC-risk factor associations in African Americans with existing data from European Americans obtained from the GENOA Field Center in Rochester, MN, using identical study protocols, NIH/NHLBI- R01-HL085571 | 09/2007 - 06/2013 |
| Extramural, Genomic Predictors of Arteriosclerosis in Hypertensives- The Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy (GENOA) and the NHLBI Family Blood Pressure Program are performing linkage and association analyses in multiple racial groups to identify and characterize genes influencing blood pressure and the cardiac, cerebral, and renal complications of hypertension. In the current study, genome-wide linkage and association analyses will be performed to further explore the genetics of micro- and macro-vessel arteriopathy in the GENOA cohort. Target organ phenotypes include coronary artery atherosclerosis, echocardiographic measures of heart structure and function, peripheral arterial disease, kidney disease, brain atrophy, and leukoaraiosis, NIH/NHLBI- NIH/NHLBI | 04/2007 - 03/2010 |
| Extramural, Genetics of Chronic Kidney Disease- The Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy (GENOA) study has conducted genomewide linkage and association studies to identify genes influencing blood pressure and the cardiac, cerebral, and peripheral vascular complications of hypertension. This study will extend those efforts by identifying genetic predictors of CKD in well-characterized African-American and non-Hispanic white American sibships with 2 or more hypertensive members, NIH/NIDDK- R01-DK073537 | 02/2006 - 07/2011 |
