Evaluating Cardiovascular Phenotypes Using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Registration Number
NCT01517425
Lead Sponsor
Scripps Translational Science Institute
Brief Summary

This research is being done to understand how changes in DNA may put people at risk for developing coronary artery disease. Stem cells will be made using cells from blood and/or skin biopsy samples. We are trying to understand which specific changes in DNA negatively impact a person's health.
