Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Fadi Charchar (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Nilesh Samani ,  Prof Stephen Harrap

Brief description The Y chromosome determines sex in men and until recently was not thought to contribute to heart disease. We previously found a specific type of Y chromosome that does contribute to heart disease. In the current project we plan to find the exact gene and mechanism in the search as a therapeutic target.
