Official Title: Defining the Basis of Fibromuscular Dysplasia: The Define-FMD Study
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to establish the functional, molecular and genetic profile of fibroblasts from Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) patients. This cellular profile will be compared against the profile of fibroblasts obtained from age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects. This cellular data will be supplemented by a detailed clinical history and evaluation, assessment of circulating protein and cytokine levels in FMD versus healthy control subjects, and DNA sequencing aiming to define the causative genetic mutation(s).
