Conditions

  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (WHO Group 1 PH)
  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With Connective Tissue Disease
  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With Connective Tissue Disease (Disorder)
  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With Schistosomiasis (Disorder)
  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension of Congenital Heart Disease
  • Pulmonary Arterial and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
  • Pulmonary Hypertension

Eligibility Criteria

Sex
ALL
Age
18 Years - N/A
Healthy Volunteers
Accepted

Interventions

  • Saliva sample — GENETIC
    Saliva sample is sent via prepaid US Mail for DNA extraction
  • Health surveys — OTHER
    Health surveys are filled out online in the study portal.

Study Details

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about how genes impact the risk of pulmonary hypertension. Anyone 18 or older living in the US is eligible, and a diagnosis of PH is NOT required. Study participation is online, and it takes about 20 minutes to complete health surveys and request a saliva collection kit sent through US mail. In return, study participants may opt to receive information about their genetic ancestry at no cost.
