About this study

To identify new dilated cardiomyopathy genes by genetic linkage and mutational analyses.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heritable, genetically heterogeneous disorder causing congestive heart failure. Current medical therapy has minimal impact on prognosis and cardiac transplantation is the only definitive treatment for end-stage disease. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying DCM are poorly defined, but the importance of single gene defects in disease pathogenesis is becoming increasingly apparent.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The genetic epidemiology study will identify novel dilated cardiomyopathy genes using genetic linkage and mutational analyses. The first aim is to determine the chromosomal location of novel familial dilated cardiomyopathy genes. This will be accomplished by genome-wide genotyping and genetic linkage analyses in three large families with autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy. Previously identified dilated cardiomyopathy genes have been excluded in these families. The second aim is to identify mutations in novel genes that cause familial dilated cardiomyopathy by linkage and sequence analyses of candidate genes mapping to dilated cardiomyopathy loci. Once novel genes for familial dilated cardiomyopathy are identified, the third aim will be to determine the role of these genes in a large cohort of unrelated patients with familial and sporadic dilated cardiomyopathy. High throughput DNA sequence analyses will be performed to identify additional inherited and de novo mutations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiomyopathy, Congestive and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Mayo Clinic.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00046618, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Feb 2014.
