Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Premature vascular disease in young hyperlipidemic subjects remains a major unsolved health problem in terms of pathogenesis and treatment. Research advances have led to new markers for genetic analysis, new methods for studying lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerotic disease progression and regression, and reference values for diagnosing hyperlipidemia.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

Attention is focused on the molecular, genetic and pathophysiological basis of the inherited dyslipoproteinemias associated with premature coronary artery disease with particular reference to familial combined hyperlipidemia, familial moderate hypercholesterolemia, familial elevation of Lp(a) and the carrier state for homocysteinemia. Coordinated studies of characterization of the pathophysiological state, the identification of possible molecular biological defects and the evaluation of these results in families by statistical genetic techniques are performed in each disorder. The role of protein mediated intravascular modification of lipoproteins and the role of oxidation of lipoproteins in each disorder will lead to characterization of these genetic lipoprotein abnormalities. The study is a subproject within a program project grant.

The subproject on the genetics of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) was renewed in 1999 through 2010 to continue mapping the apoB elevating gene l(BEL) level using a genomic search in pedigrees with familial combined hyperlipidemia. The major focus of the genetic analyses are the 15 FCHL families under the BEL segregation analysis model in a power analysis. These families also show the most evidence for segregation at an apoB elevating gene locus. Genotyping for a 10 centimorgan genomic scan has been completed for these families.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

No outcome measures for this research (time frame: 1980-2003). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005313, which also lists 66 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Dec 2014.
