PROGENI:
NHLBI Programs in Gene Environment Interactions Network
The purpose of this program is to identify novel genes
which interact with specific environmental exposures
to modify risk factors for heart, lung, blood, and sleep
(HLBS) disorders. The genetic aspects of response to
environmental change, and related biological mechanisms,
will be studied using short term, focused interventions
in families. The goal of this consortium of NHLBI-funded
studies is to identify subgroups based on genotype that
are most likely to benefit from targeted environmental
changes designed to reduce the development or progression
of HLBS diseases.
The NHLBI Program Officer for PROGENI is Cashell
