Multi-ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis - Vision Component

梅萨的研究正在进行中。MESA第五次考察访问始于2010年4月，于2012年初完成。参与者目前正在接受健康活动的跟踪。 对各种眼部表型的分析，包括视网膜微血管疾病，已经导致了多篇已发表的手稿，更多的手稿正在准备中。2010年8月，基因和眼部表型数据开始在DBGaP上发布。在Mesa Share、Charge和BioProject的赞助下进行的遗传分析正在进行中。 MESA有许多辅助研究，包括肺部分(由NHLBI资助)和空气污染部分(由EPA资助)，使所有研究人员能够利用有限的资源获得最大的科学优势。为了整合和分析不同研究组成部分的数据而进行的讨论导致了几个多学科的合作，产生了许多同行评议的科学出版物，其中许多都是新奇的，很可能被认为风险太高，根本无法单独获得资金。 有关MESA研究及其辅助研究的更多信息，包括参与研究人员和机构的完整名单以及完整、最新的出版物名单，请访问http://www.mesa-nhlbi.org.有关如何访问MESA数据的信息，请参阅DBGaP(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap).

The MESA study is on-going. MESA study visit five began in April 2010 and was completed in early 2012. Participants are currently being followed for health events. Analyses of various ocular phenotypes, including retinal microvascular disease, have resulted in multiple published manuscripts with more under preparation. Genotype and ocular phenotype data began to be released on dbGaP in August 2010. Genetic analyses under the auspices of MESA SHARe, CHARGE, and the BioProject are on-going. MESA has numerous ancillary studies, including a lung component (funded by NHLBI) and an air pollution component (funded by the EPA), allowing all investigators to leverage modest resources for maximal scientific advantage. Discussions to integrate and analyze data across various study components have resulted in several multi-disciplinary collaborations producing numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications, many of which are novel and would likely have been considered too high-risk to have ever received funding on their own. More information about the MESA Study and its ancillary studies, including a full list of participating investigators and institutions and a complete, up-to-date list of publications, can be found at http://www.mesa-nhlbi.org.
