Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample Clinical Trials Resources presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for proven health advice, calls or treatment with a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always consult your doctor on Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample Clinical research trials and Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample healthcare trials take place in a lot of of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectiveness of new does drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to figure out specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample. Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to access health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the subjects receive professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample clinical trial. Human subjects often obtain the finest healthcare possible for their Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample condition. Hazards are a reality, nevertheless, and might include additional or frequent dr. calls, health hazards (potentially life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally regulated with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample



Genome Scan for Obesity in a Multi-Ethnic Sample

For Condition: Cardiovascular Diseases,Heart Diseases,Obesity
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To scan the genome for obesity in a multi-ethnic sample.
Details: BACKGROUND: Despite intensive efforts the genetic basis of obesity has been difficult to establish. Linkage analysis using a genome-wide scan can potentially identify genomic regions not previously thought to be associated with susceptibility to obesity and provides a comprehensive test of the consistency of previous studies. The study used the considerable resources generated by the four cooperating networks in the NHLBI-supported "Family Blood Pressure Program" (FBPP) to conduct a genome-wide scan data for obesity. DESIGN NARRATIVE: In the Family Blood Pressure Program, microsatellite markers were typed at a density of -10cM by the Mammalian Genotyping Service (MGS) in Marshfield, WI. The complete data set was to include 9,940 individuals representing 4 ethnic groups (white, black, Hispanic and Asian). Obesity was characterized as a weight/height ratio (body mass index) and waist/hip ratio. This data set was larger than any prior genome scan for obesity, and the inclusion of multiple ethnic groups made it possible to examine genetic heterogeneity. The specific aims of the study were to conduct linkage and association analyses to localize regions influencing obesity. Investigators worked closely with the FBPP Coordinating Center (Washington University, St. Louis) and investigators from each of the four FBPP networks. Evidence was sought for consistency between results obtained from analyses of the genome scan performed by each of the individuals, and results summarized from the literature, with those found in meta-analysis.
