About this study
To locate and identify genes contributing to the genetic component of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Type 2 diabetes and to evaluate the impact of lifestyle and environment on the expression of these genetic components of subclinical CVD.
Read the detailed description
BACKGROUND:
Atherosclerosis is the most important complication of diabetes and the reason for its accelerated course in patients with this condition is poorly understood. Diabetes is increasing in prevalence and will exact a heavy disease burden on the United States population over the coming years. Secondary prevention of atherosclerotic complications would be of great value. The rationale underlying genetic studies is that new pathways could be identified through functional genomics.
DESIGN NARRATIVE:
The following hypotheses are tested: 1) The risk of developing Type 2 diabetes-associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) has a significant heritable component that can be measured, and 2) The chromosomal locations of genes contributing to CVD in Type 2 diabetes can be determined and the genes identified using modern molecular genetic approaches. The investigators predict that these genetic factors can be detected in studies of sibling pairs with Type 2 diabetes through genetic epidemiology methods and linkage analysis. Type 2 diabetes-affected sibling pairs, unaffected siblings, and parents, if available, will be recruited and multiple clinical and subclinical measures of subclinical CVD risk will be assessed, including coronary artery calcification (CAC), carotid arterial wall thickness (IMT), ECG variables, and prevalent CVD. Data on the patients are collected in one visit to the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) which includes an interview and physical examination, a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), B-mode ultrasound of the carotid arteries, retrospectively gated helical CT (RGHCT), and a spectrum of clinical laboratory measures. Genetic and epidemiological methods will be used to evaluate the familial aggregation of subclinical CVD taking into consideration the effects of shared environmental exposures (e.g. smoking, diet, alcohol intake and physical activity) and clinical measures (e.g., body mass index, blood pressure, lipids, age, sex, etc.). Initial estimates of heritability suggest a significant heritable component to subclinical CVD. Clinical evaluation will be followed by a comprehensive molecular genetic analysis of the sib pairs/families including a genome wide screen, which will be followed by a focused effort to create a high quality dataset by regenotyping or replacing problem markers. Evidence for linkage to quantitative trait loci (QTLs) influencing CAC and IMT will be pursued in those chromosomal regions showing suggestive evidence for linkage and then performing further analyses to detect associations with these "saturation" markers.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes Mellitus, Non-insulin Dependent, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2016. 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.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00037297, which also lists 8 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 29 Jul 2016.
