Scientists map genes of thousands to unlock heart disease secrets

NCT ID NCT00410241

Summary

This research study aims to understand how analyzing people's genes (genome sequencing) can help us learn about heart disease and other health conditions. Researchers enrolled about 1,665 participants, including both healthy volunteers and people with heart disease, to collect blood samples and health information. The main goal is to build knowledge about how genetic changes relate to health, which may help future patients, though participants may not receive direct personal benefits.
