FHS - Coordinating Center (Michael Province, P.I.) - The division serves as the Coordinating Center for this genetic epidemiological family study of heart disease. Extensive Family History data were collected on 4,000 people (2,000 high risk and 2,000 random) and their families to determine the genetic risk of heart disease. Of these families 1,200 (600 high risk and 600 random) were invited for extensive testing including biochemical, pulmonary, ECG, and Carotid Ultrasounds. Genotyping for candidate genes and genome-wide anonymous markers were also performed. For more information on this study, contact Jeanne Cashman jeanne@wubios.wustl.edu.
