DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this application is to create a research and training program which will allow Dr. Lanfear to develop into an independent clinician-scientist with translational research projects focused on cardiovascular pharmacogenetics. The proposed program will accomplish this goal through completion of the research sroject, technical skills training, didactic coursework focused on genome-wide techniques, and outstanding mentorship. The overall strengths of the proposal are further supported by the quality of the applicant and the relevance and scientific merit of the research project. The applicant has clinical expertise in heart failure [HF), experience in genotyping, advanced training in study design and statistics (culminating in an M.S.), and has shown focus and motivation through successfully completing projects and publishing the results in reputable journals. He would greatly benefit from the proposed coursework in array-based genomic techniques as well as the skills gained via execution of the research project. The research project will enhance his technical skills, allow mentoring, and will generate data for publication and justification of future experiments. It focuses on HF which continues to be an enormous public health problem despite many advances in pharmacotherapy over the past 25 years. There are currently insufficient tools to guide the optimal selection of drug therapy for individuals. The expansion of human genomic information has led to exciting new opportunities for pharmacogenetics to improve drug therapy. One of the most exciting new areas in HF is the natriuretic peptide system. B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BMP) has diagnostic and prognostic importance in HF and is a commercially available therapeutic agent for acute HF exacerbations. Despite its beneficial effects, BMP therapy has several limitations; it is intravenous, expensive, and has potential toxicities. The goal of this project is to define genetic predictors of the efficacy and toxicity of intravenously administered BMP. A candidate gene approach will be taken and sequence data will be correlated with pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and clinical response parameters. As a mechanistic validation the association of sequence variants with expression level of the candidate genes and quantity of protein products will be assessed in human kidney tissue samples. The overall program will not only define functional predictive variants, but will advance the candidate's career while setting the ground work for follow-up studies of pharmacogenetically directed BNP therapy.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是创建一个研究和培训计划，使 Lanfear 博士能够发展成为一名独立的临床医生科学家，开展专注于心血管药物遗传学的转化研究项目。拟议的计划将通过完成研究项目、技术技能培训、专注于全基因组技术的教学课程以及出色的指导来实现这一目标。申请人的质量以及研究项目的相关性和科学价值进一步支持了提案的整体优势。申请人拥有心力衰竭 [HF] 方面的临床专业知识、基因分型方面的经验、研究设计和统计学方面的高级培训（最终获得硕士学位），并通过成功完成项目并在知名期刊上发表结果表现出专注和动力。他将从拟议的基于阵列的基因组技术课程以及通过执行研究项目获得的技能中受益匪浅。该研究项目将提高他的技术技能，提供指导，并将生成用于发表和证明未来实验合理性的数据。它重点关注心力衰竭，尽管过去 25 年药物治疗取得了许多进展，但心力衰竭仍然是一个巨大的公共卫生问题。目前没有足够的工具来指导个体药物治疗的最佳选择。人类基因组信息的扩展为药物遗传学改善药物治疗带来了令人兴奋的新机遇。心力衰竭最令人兴奋的新领域之一是利尿钠肽系统。 B 型利钠肽 (BMP) 对心力衰竭具有诊断和预后重要性，是一种市售的治疗心力衰竭急性加重的药物。尽管 BMP 疗法具有有益的作用，但它也有一些局限性；它是静脉注射，价格昂贵，并且具有潜在的毒性。该项目的目标是确定静脉注射 BMP 功效和毒性的遗传预测因子。将采用候选基因方法，并将序列数据与药代动力学、药效学和临床反应参数相关联。作为机制验证，将在人肾组织样本中评估序列变异与候选基因表达水平和蛋白质产物数量的关联。整个计划不仅将定义功能预测变异，还将促进候选人的职业生涯，同时为药物遗传学导向的 BNP 治疗的后续研究奠定基础。 （摘要完）
