NCT ID NCT00410241
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is sequencing the genes of 1665 people aged 45 to 65 to learn how genetic changes relate to health, especially heart disease. Participants provide blood samples and undergo heart tests. The goal is to improve methods for interpreting genetic data and understand how results affect health behaviors and family communication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could improve how we interpret genetic information and link gene changes to health conditions like heart disease.
What could go wrong
This is an observational pilot study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly benefit participants, and the genetic findings may be uncertain or hard to interpret.
