This $729,165 project grant was awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) federal grant program. The grant supports research to study the biological consequences of RASA1 deficiency and identify synergistic genetic factors that promote the emergence of vascular malformations. The project aims to: 1) Identify partners that collaborate with RASA1 haploinsufficiency to drive vascular malformation development, and 2) Elucidate molecular targets downstream of RASA1 that regulate endothelial cell junctional integrity and vascular homeostasis. The research will be conducted by Northwestern University using novel mouse models and human cell lines, with the goal of improving understanding of Ras-related vascular disorders and informing potential clinical interventions. The grant period runs from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2028.
