Multi-ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis - Vision Component

梅萨研究正在进行中。 梅萨第五次研究访问于2010年4月开始，并于2012年初完成。 目前正在跟踪参与者的健康事件。 对各种眼部表型（包括视网膜微血管疾病）的分析已导致多篇已发表的手稿，还有更多的手稿正在准备中。2010年8月，基因型和眼部表型数据开始在dbGaP上发布。 目前正在梅萨SHARe、CHARGE和生物项目的主持下进行遗传分析。 梅萨有许多辅助研究，包括肺部部分（由NHLBI资助）和空气污染部分（由EPA资助），允许所有研究人员利用适度的资源以获得最大的科学优势。 整合和分析各种研究组成部分的数据的讨论导致了几个多学科合作，产生了许多同行评审的科学出版物，其中许多是新颖的，可能被认为风险太高，无法单独获得资助。 有关梅萨研究及其辅助研究的更多信息，包括参与研究者和机构的完整列表以及完整的最新出版物列表，请访问http://www.mesa-nhlbi.org。有关如何访问梅萨数据的信息，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.
