Clinical Study
Studying the genetic factors in smoking-induced vascular disease
Our study will determine whether people who have genetic variants in nicotine receptors have a higher risk for smoking-induced vascular disease. Then we will study the mechanisms and identify potential therapy for smokers carrying genetic variants in nicotine receptors. Our study will educate people carrying genetic variants in nicotine receptors to stop smoking and will provide potential treatments against smoking-induced vascular disease for this population.
