Project description:We identified 7 CNV regions that were associated significantly with hyperlipidemia and myocardial infarction in our patients through multistage analysis (P<0.001). The inclusion criteria for enrolling patients were drawn from the Prospective Cardiovascular Munster study [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3202078] and Framingham Heart Study [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9737513]. In brief, patients aged between 20 and 75 years with coronary arterial disease with more than 50% stenosis, as proven by cardiac catheterization, and a history of hyperlipidemia with serum cholesterol level greater than 240 mg/dL or low-density lipoprotein greater than 155 mg/dL were enrolled. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from whole blood samples. 40 Samples.
Project description:Affymetrix SNP array analysis was performed on DNA extracted from whole blood samples of 7 Taiwanese patients with hyperlipidemia. Three copy number variant (CNV) regions associated significantly with hyperlipidemia were identified through genomic segmentation analysis (P<0.001). 7 male Taiwanese hyperlipidemia patients.

Project description:Recent technological advances have made transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) possible in cells with low RNA copy number including platelets. Resulting studies have used RNA-seq in platelets isolated from healthy individuals to characterize the platelet transcriptome. However, platelets, possibly through gene expression changes, contribute to the etiology of and response to cardiovascular disease and events. To address this, we performed the largest human platelet RNA-seq analysis to date in 34 platelet samples: 16 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 16 non-STEMI (NSTEMI), and 2 controls. RNA-seq of platelet samples from 34 individuals: 16 with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 16 with non-STEMI, and 2 non-myocardial infarction controls
