MESA Family Assays • To study heritability in relation to subclinical disease • To support candidate gene work
Ongoing assays: Lipids (total, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides) Glucose Creatinine
Other assays: • Multiplex panels for adipokines: • Adiponectin, resistin, leptin, TNF-α, MCP-1 • Insulin* • IL-6* • CRP* • D-dimer* • PAI-1** • *Measured in full MESA cohort • **Measured in MESA 1000-person sample (Group 3)
Assay Progress • Completed on first ½ of MESA Family Participants (n=666) • IL-6 • Insulin (also MESA Classic participants using new method)* • CRP* • D-dimer* • *data released
* Lab Variables by Family Type *Probands and siblings in MESA Classic Classic families: proband in MESA Classic, siblings recruited into MESA Family De Novo Families: entirely recruited outside of MESA page 21 of Steering Committee Report

Percent technical error of measurement - TEM% *Calculated value: LDL=total cholesterol - HDL - (triglycerides/5) x’s = paired values and y’s = QC values with x, y as measurements from the same individual; measurements on n participants
Tasks • Resolve QC discrepancies • Resolve IL-6 assay issue • Remaining assay work • Insulin, IL-6, CRP and D-dimer assays on second ½ of MESA Family participants • Adipokine panels – will be run on full MESA Family cohort including MESA Classic participants • PAI-1 – will be run on full MESA Family cohort including MESA Classic participants
