Recruitment of African American and Hispanic sbships for MESA Family began in May 2004. By the end of 2006, when enrolled was complete, 3026 shipships from 608 families were enrolled. ? On this MESA Family sample, phenotype annotation is basically complete and genotyping has been performed. Analytic work is slated to begin in late 2007 after genetic data cleaning has been completed. ? ? Genetic analyses on MESA index cases (from the original MESA cohort) are underway using both candidate gene and candidate-wide association strategies.? ?
