Ancillary Pharmacogenetic Studies in Heart, Lung, Blood, and Sleep Disorders

Program Description

This program focuses on the collection and utilization of DNA from study participants, in ongoing or completed clinical trials, to examine genetic influences on inter-individual differences in prescription drug response. Studies under this RFA may help elucidate basic mechanisms of drug effects and adverse reactions and may facilitate optimal selection of therapy in individual patients as well as mitigating serious adverse response or lack or response to therapy in the treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. Currently, NHLBI is funding seven studies through this mechanism.

The NHLBI Program Officer for Ancillary Pharmacogenetic Studies is Dina Paltoo, Ph.D., M.P.H.
