Project

The high- throughput identification and validation of epigenetic biomarkers for cardiovascular disease.

In the Western World, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent the most important cause of death. The interaction between aging, genetics and lifestyle in the development of CVD pints towards an epigenetic component. Therefore, a high- throughput epigenetic profiling of CVD will be performed, based on samples from the longitudinal Asklepios study. This may deepen the understanding of the molecular pathology of CVD
