About this study

Official title: Genetic Studies of Coronary Artery Disease and Arteriovenous Malformation (GeneQuest) Molecular Determinants of Coronary Artery Disease

The purpose of this study is to discover genes that may cause Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) or Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to discover genes that may cause Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) or Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). Many human diseases are inherited or passed from parent to child in families. These diseases occur because of damage to a gene(s), the genetic material that is also called DNA. Scientists can now use modern molecular techniques to locate and to find certain genes within the DNA (genetic material) of a person, and to follow their inheritance in a family. To find these disease-causing genes requires studies of many affected with the disease and their family members. The purpose of this study is to locate and to find the genes for coronary artery disease (CAD) which occurs when one or more of the arteries that carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to the rest of your body develop blockages; or, arteriovenous malformation (AVM) which causes abnormal vascular connections between arteries and veins, particularly near the heart. Findings of the genes causing CAD and AVM will have far-reaching effect on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of coronary artery disease and arteriovenous malformation. These studies will lead to possible genetic diagnosis, early detection of persons at risk for developing CAD or AVM (even in the absence of symptoms), development of effective drugs, more rational and specific therapeutic interventions, treatments and ultimately, prevention of coronary heart disease. Approximately 3-5 years are required to find one human disease gene.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Arteriovenous Malformations, run by John Barnard at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Sequencing completed early). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Coronary Artery Disease (time frame: 2009). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 May 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
