The JHS is the largest single-site longitudinal, population-based, cohort study of 5,302 persons initiated in the fall of 2000 to prospectively investigate the determinants of CVD among African Americans in the Jackson, MS metropolitan statistical area. The JHS investigates the various genotype and phenotype factors that affect high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and other important diseases in African Americans. The primary objective of the Jackson Heart Study is to investigate the causes of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in African Americans to learn how to best prevent this group of diseases in the future. More specific objectives include: 1. Identification of factors, which influence the development, and worsening of CVD in African Americans, with an emphasis on manifestations related to high blood pressure (such as remodeling of the left ventricle of the heart, coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke and disorders affecting the blood vessels of the kidney). 2. Building research capabilities in minority institutions at the undergraduate and graduate level by developing partnerships between minority and majority institutions and enhancing participation of minority investigators in large-scale epidemiologic studies. 3. Attracting minority students to and preparing them for careers in health sciences.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. Collect, store, and distribute genetic samples from cases and controls of type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy for investigator-driven research into the genetic basis of diabetic nephropathy. As the risk of kidney complications in type 1 diabetes appears to have a considerable genetic component, this study assembled a large data resource for researchers attempting to identify causative genetic variants. The types of data collected allowed traditional case-control testing, a rapid and often powerful approach, and family-based analysis, a robust approach that is not influenced by population substructure.

Database of medical history and genealogical data on over 6700 families who are affected by type 1 diabetes and a repository of DNA and immortalized cell lines collected from 500 families. This database and repository was originally created to help researchers uncover the genetic causes of type 1 diabetes but today, it is also used by researchers who study type 2 diabetes, diabetic complications, autoimmune diseases, kidney disease, and other disorders. The following resources and services are available to researchers through HBDI: * International Type 1 Diabetes Database: This database includes more than 6700 families with diabetes, related complications and other genetic diseases. There are extensive genealogical and medical histories for more than 90,000 individuals. NDRI conducts searches of the database for approved research requests. * HBDI Catalog: The catalog contains 503 family pedigrees with associated cell lines, DNA, and serum for research. Also available are HLA-typing and auto-antibody test results for diabetes families in the catalog. * HBDI Repository: The HBDI repository contains cell lines, DNA, and HLA typing information from 480 families, and frozen buffy coats from 23 families, all with Type 1 diabetes. They have recently expanded the repository to include specimens from individuals with rare diseases. * Customized Collections: NDRI will collect data from patients and physicians, conduct phone interviews and collect blood and other specimens for research on request., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

http://medibeacon.com/

A commercial optical diagnostic company focused on providing clinicians with critical information to improve patient care. The Optical Renal Function Monitor (ORFM) is their first product platform and is focused on real-time, easy to use, and cost-effective monitoring of kidney function. Their non-invasive monitoring technology works in a similar fashion to pulse oximetry by using a light sensor placed on the skin. After the sensor has been placed, a proprietary biocompatible tracer is administered. The system can then monitor the patient''s real-time point-of-care kidney function. This information will allow for earlier detection of renal issues enabling clinicians to provide earlier, and hence more effective interventions. MediBeacon has created a research grade technique that is clinically applicable for real-time point-of-care Glomerular Filtration Rate measurement (mGFR). MediBeacon has invented a fluorescent tracer agent (MB-102) that is removed from the blood exclusively by the GFR mechanism of the kidneys. Together with their non-invasive detection device, this will deliver a real-time point-of-care measurement of GFR.
