Clinical trial investigating whether a specific class of antihypertensive drugs (beta-adrenergic blockers, calcium channel blockers, or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) and/or the level of blood pressure would influence progression of hypertensive kidney disease in African Americans. The initiative consisting of 21 clinical centers and a data-coordinating center is followed by a Continuation of AASK Cohort Study to investigate the environmental, socio-economic, genetic, physiologic, and other co-morbid factors that influence progression of kidney disease in a well-characterized cohort of African Americans with hypertensive kidney disease. Only patients who were previously in the randomized trial are eligible for the cohort study. A significant discovery was made in the treatment strategy for slowing kidney disease caused by hypertension. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, compared with calcium channel blockers, were found to slow kidney disease progression by 36 percent, and they drastically reduced the risk of kidney failure by 48 percent in patients who had at least one gram of protein in the urine, a sign of kidney failure. ACE inhibitors have been the preferred treatment for hypertension caused by diabetes since 1994; however, calcium channel blockers have been particularly effective in controlling blood pressure in African Americans. The AASK study now recommends ACE inhibitors to protect the kidneys from the damaging effects of hypertension. The Continuation of AASK Cohort Study will be followed at the clinical centers. The patients will be provided with the usual clinical care given to all such patients at the respective centers. Baseline demographic information, selected laboratory tests, and other studies are being obtained at the initiation of the Continuation Study. The patients will be seen quarterly at the centers, and some selected studies done at these visits. Samples will be obtained and stored for additional studies and analyses at a later date.

http://archives.niddk.nih.gov/patient/bach/bach.aspx

An epidemiologic study being conducted in the Boston metropolitan area to examine the prevalence of symptoms for health problems such as interstitial cystitis, urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, hypogonadism, and sexual function. Of interest to the survey are health disparities and inequalities. BACH is especially concerned with lack of adequate health insurance, lack of access to adequate medical care, and how these problems influence patterns of disease. The study also focuses on social determinants of disease that are over and above the contribution of individual characteristics and risk factors. To achieve a randomly sampled population, four neighborhoods were divided into 12 strata and from them investigators selected census blocks. Households were then randomly selected from the census blocks and sampled to identify eligible study participants. Investigators conduct a two-hour, in-home, bilingual field interview of all eligible participants, looking at symptoms and asking questions about lifestyle, physical activity, alcohol use, nutrition, demographics, and morbidity. They also conduct a detailed inventory of medications, both prescribed and over-the-counter, and take two non-fasting blood samples for hormone, cholesterol, and lipid levels that will be stored for future studies. By the time the study ends, approximately 6,000 men and women, ages 30 to 79, from four Boston area neighborhoods that have density levels proportionate with minority populations will have been interviewed in their homes. One third of the randomly sampled population will be African American; one third, Hispanic; and one third, Caucasian.

Notice as of December 19, 2019: Materials from KOMP Repository have been deposited into MMRRC, including all mouse models and mouse embryonic stem cell lines. Eventually www.komp.org will be sunsetting, and IMSR will remove KOMP Repository listings, since they were double listed in MMRRC. MMRRC will contain the most accurate and up to date resource models.

Database designed for web-based examination of the human erythroid transcriptome. The database is organized to provide a cytogenetic band position, a unique name as well as a concise annotation for each entry. Search queries may be performed by name, keyword or cytogenetic location. Search results are linked to primary sequence data and three major human genome browsers for access to information considered current at the time of each search. Hembase provides interested scientists and clinical hematologists with a genome-based approach toward the study of erythroid biology. Red blood cells in the circulation arise from hematopoietic stem cells that proliferate as erythroid progenitors and differentiate into erythroid precursor cells in response to the hormone erythropoietin. Messenger RNA was isolated from those cells and used to generate gene libraries. Sequencing several thousand expressed sequence tags (EST) from those libraries was then performed. Those EST and sequences encoding several hundred additional genes with known expression in erythroid cells are compiled here as a database of human erythroid gene activity. The database is organized and linked according to the location of these sequences within the human genome., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 15,2026.

Produce resources to unravel the interface between insulin action, insulin resistance and the genetics of type 2 diabetes including an annotated public database, standardized protocols for gene expression and proteomic analysis, and ultimately diabetes-specific and insulin action-specific DNA chips for investigators in the field. The project aims to identify the sets of the genes involved in insulin action and the predisposition to type 2 diabetes, as well as the secondary changes in gene expression that occur in response to the metabolic abnormalities present in diabetes. There are five major and one pilot project involving human and rodent tissues that are designed to: * Create a database of the genes expressed in insulin-responsive tissues, as well as accessible tissues, that are regulated by insulin, insulin resistance and diabetes. * Assess levels and patterns of gene expression in each tissue before and after insulin stimulation in normal and genetically-modified rodents; normal, insulin resistant and diabetic humans, and in cultured and freshly isolated cell models. * Correlate the level and patterns of expression at the mRNA and/or protein level with the genetic and metabolic phenotype of the animal or cell. * Generate genomic sequence from a panel of humans with type 2 diabetes focusing on the genes most highly regulated by insulin and diabetes to determine the range of sequence and expression variation in these genes and the proteins they encode, which might affect the risk of diabetes or insulin resistance. The DGAP project will define: * the normal anatomy of gene expression, i.e. basal levels of expression and response to insulin. * the morbid anatomy of gene expression, i.e., the impact of diabetes on expression patterns and the insulin response. * the extent to which genetic variability might contribute to the alterations in expression or to diabetes itself.
