This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The RCMI Molecular Genetics of Blood disorders activity is a research program that combines the efforts of both basic and clinical investigators in the area of molecular genetics. This activity supports four pilot research projects using molecular genetics techniques to study blood disorders affecting the Puerto Rican population. Despite the importance of studying the genetic variants of hereditary diseases in ethnic groups such as the Hispanic pupulations, the level of research activity in this specific area in the Medical Sciences Campus has been low. This proposal represents a joint effort of several clinical and basic science investigators to promote and develop biomedical reasearch in the area of Genetics of Blood Disorders on the
