EAS Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Studies Collaboration

If untreated, lifelong exposure to elevated LDL-C results in a substantially increased risk of (premature) cardiovascular disease as compared to the general population. Although FH adverse cardiovascular outcomes are potentially preventable through early identification of FH individuals and initiation of effective treatment, reports shows that FH is under-diagnosed and under-treated.

Early Environmental and Maternal Determinants of Airway Inflammation in Wheezing Disorders in Infants

This study collects data on microbiological, genetic and environmental factors, as well as lung function parameters (e.g. spirometry, body plethysmography, lung-MRI) to assess the complex interaction of predisposing risk factors for impaired lung development and respiratory diseases.

The Genetics and Vascular Health Check Study (GENVASC) Aims to Help Determine Whether Gathering Genetic Information Can Improve the Prediction of Risk of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

The Genetics and Vascular Health Check study (GENVASC) is a large study run in conjunction with Clinical Commissioning Groups and Primary Care practices across Leicester, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. The purpose of GENVASC is to help determine whether gathering genetic information can improve the prediction of risk of Coronary Artery Disease …

Physical Activity and Preterm Birth With Cervical Dynamics

this RCT is designed to investigate the influence of physical activity on the risk f preterm birth for women with cervical dynamics.

Determinants of Neonatal Anemia in Women Carrying Multiples

Maternal anemia is known to increase the risk of adverse birth outcomes including preterm birth and low birth weight. Moreover, the developing brain is increasingly recognized to be susceptible to Fe insufficiency in utero and growing data support that suboptimal Fe stores at birth are associated with long-term irreversible cognitive …
