Translational-Omics in Aortic Stenosis (TOmAS) Biobank (NCT05930899)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The objective of the TOmAS Biobank is the conservation of biological material (plasma, saliva, and tissue explanted during surgery), genetic material (DNA, RNA, etc.), and clinical data ("material/data") collected from patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) as well as from control participants, in order to allow future studies evaluating novel proteomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic markers (as well as other emerging -omic technologies) for CVD (i.e. aortic stenosis, cardiomyopathy, myorcardial infarction, etc). The study of physiological and genetic factors will allow for the discovery of new genomic and other -omic (including proteomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic) biomarkers associated with CVD which will lead to an improved understanding of the underlying biology of CVD and may provide future insights into the prevention and treatment of this type of disease.
