InGenious HyperCare Sixth Framework Programme Priority 1 Life Sciences, Genomics and Biotechnology for Health Fourth Call LSH - 2005 - 2.1.1-2 Hypertension and cardiovascular disease - Network of Excellence. The project should lead to the integration of research teams working on genetics, functional genomics and molecular mechanisms of hypertension and hypertension-related cardiac and vascular damage

Hypertension and, more broadly, common cardiovascular diseases are due to complex interactions between environment and genetic background. This genetic background is also very complex, does not depend on alterations in single genes (except in rare cases), but on interactions between polymorphisms in a large number of genes, most of which are still unknown.
Progress depends on concentrated efforts in orderTo study large numbers of subjects with different cv characteristics.To characterize subjects (phenotyping) in the most detailed and uniform way To approach the genetic background by exploring polymorphisms in multiple genes belonging to coherent pathophysiological pathways or families (mechanomics)
InGenious HyperCare General Goals Integrating complementary but still fragmented experiences in Studying the physiological mechanisms of blood pressure control and hypertension development Phenotyping initiation and progression of organ damage Exploring genetics, genomics and proteomics of proneness to hypertension and hypertension-related cardiovascular disease
InGenious HyperCare Specific Goals To create large common databases of subjects with and without hypertension, with and without hypertension-related cardiovascular and renal disease To establish joint platforms for phenotyping, genotyping, proteomic studies and statistical analyses To initiate coordinated programmes of research activities
InGenious HyperCare Joint Research Packages A : Mechanomics of Hypertension The first group of JRPs (A1,A2,A3) proposed as joint research activity of the Network aims at identifying genetic, genomic and proteomic markers of disturbances in the major physiological mechanisms controlling blood pressure, as potential indicators of the risk of becoming hypertensive, thus indentifying those subjects genetically prone to hypertension upon whom to concentrate preventive measures A1. Genetics and Genomics of Autonomic Cardiovascular Control ( Coordinators G. Mancia and A. Zanchetti ) A2. Genetics, Genomics and Proteomics of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation ( Coordinators A. Dominiczak and H. Haller ) A3. Genetics and Genomics of Sodium Homeostasis in Hypertension and LVH ( Coordinators J. Staessen and K. Kawecka-Jaszcz )
InGenious HyperCare Joint Research Packages B: Mechanomics of Hypertension - Related Cardiovascular Disease The second group of JRPs (B1, B2, B3) aims at jointly approaching the indentification of the genetic, genomic and proteomic markers of the risk of a hypertensive patient to develop a specific type of event (stroke, renal disease, heart failure), thus identifying those subjects in greatest need of therapeutic intervention. B1. Genetics and Genomics of Hypertension and Stroke (Coordinators A. Dominiczak and A. Zanchetti ) B2. Genetics, Genomics and Proteomics of Hypertension Associated with Renal Disease (Coordinators H. Hallerand J. Redón) B3. Genetics, Genomics and Proteomics of Heart Failure in Hypertension (Coordinators J. Diez and F. Zannad)
InGenious HyperCare Spreading of Excellence ESH Advisory Board Ettore Ambrosioni (Bologna), Serap Erdine (Istanbul), Jean-Michel Mallion (Grenoble), Athanasios Manolis (Athens), Peter van Zwieten (Amsterdam) Spreading of Excellence Committee Giuseppe Mancia (Milano), José Rodicio (Madrid), Sverre Kjedsen (Oslo), Anthony Haegerty (Manchester), Kalina Kawecka-Jaszcz (Cracow), Renata Cifkova (Prague), Carla Finocchiaro (Milano)
InGenious HyperCare Spreading of Excellence Activities Training Annual teaching courses in cooperation with ESH, also open to interested investigators outside the Network Involvement of doctoral students : 30 doctoral students already listed in the proposal, but more to be involved through academic partners of the Network Dissemination Contacts , through ESH, with national hypertension societies Updating of Network activities at annual meetings of ESH Yearly workshops, preferentially colocated with annual ESH meetings, ESH Summer Schools
The Network research activities include genetic research in some large existing cohorts or populations, but are also centered on prospective studies on subjects and, particulary, families which should be recruited on the basis of detailed protocols requiring precise phenotyping.As precise phenotyping is a prerequisite for genotyping, the Steering Committee has thought that this first ESH Satellite Symposium of InGenious HyperCare should be centered on phenotyping.
