This research not only considers the individual effects of variation in each gene, but their interactions with other genes and with the environment. We also ask if these genetic variations predict CHD beyond the traditional risk factors, such as smoking and hypertension. 1 U01 HL 096917-02 (Mosley) 07/07/2010 ? 06/30/2013 0.60 calendar NIH/NHLBI/NINDS/NEI $244,613 ARIC Neurocognitive Study (ARIC NCS) ARIC NCS will identify risk factors for dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and cognitive decline in the biracial longitudinal ARIC cohort study of the natural history of atherosclerosis. 1 R01 HL 106034-02 (Xiong) 01/10/2011 ? 12/31/2014 0.60 calendar NIH/NHLBI $376,093 Statistical Methods for Finding Missing Heritability The goal of this proposal is to use genome continuum model as a general principle, data reduction, functional data analysis techniques, and systems biology tools for developing novel and powerful statistical methods for detection interaction between genes (or pathways) with both common and rare variants and environments with both discrete and continuous measurements, and carry out genome-wide gene-environment interaction. 2 U01 GM 074492-08 (Johnson) 08/03/2005 ? 07/31/2015 0.6 calendar NIH/NIGMS $337,485 Pharmacogenomic Evaluation of Antihypertensive Responses We will provide genetic analysis of all study samples for the genome spanning studies. 1 U54 HG006542-01 (Valle) 12/05/11 ? 11/30/15 0.6 calendar NIH Baylor-Johns Hopkins Center for Mendelian Genetics Collaboration with Drs.
