Establish a pulmonary hypertension registry and biorepository to lead towards a further understanding of the disease.
The aim of this project will be to establish a broad and wide-ranging registry and biorepository of blood samples from patients with pulmonary hypertension, including all WHO groups I-V to be used for future research in these areas. This will be both a retrospective and prospective project. The registry and biorepository will be utilized to study and grow our knowledge of the cellular mechanisms and mediators of the disease and, in turn, contribute to advancements in treatment.

Future projects might include genetic testing on your samples. Genetic testing studies pieces of DNA called genes. The cells in your body contain deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA for short. DNA is passed down from your parents. It carries the genes that determine how you look and how your body works and tells a genetic story about you. Differences in genes may help explain why a particular drug is effective and safe in some people, but not in others. Differences in genes also may explain why some people get certain diseases, but others do not. The genetic information may be important in guiding targeted treatments in the future.
