This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $624,142 to the University of Colorado-Denver to conduct an integrated genomic and transcriptomic investigation of human heart failure mechanisms. The project aims to leverage whole-genome and whole-transcriptome data from a unique dataset of ~750 paired DNA/RNA sequenced human heart samples to: 1) validate which heart failure GWAS variants affect gene expression in the human heart, 2) discover novel human heart expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in health and disease, and 3) discover novel heart failure genes and pathways. The University of Virginia received a $167,864 sub-award to collaborate on this research effort. The project period runs from Apr 17, 2024 to Mar 31, 2028 and seeks to provide a comprehensive genetic and RNA expression atlas to reveal and validate novel heart failure genes and pathways for developing biomarkers and new treatment approaches.
