Project Title: |
|
|
Description: |
This planning grant tests the feasibility of creating a genetic library for the CHDS that can be used to understand how genes interact with environment to influence health of parents and offspring. It includes intensive examination of the ethics of genetic studies in long-term studies. |

Project Title: |
|
|
Description: |
Higher birth weights have been reported to increase breast cancer risk, and birth weights of mothers and daughters are highly correlated. However, race/ethnicity patterns for birth weight (lowest for African Americans and Asians, higher for Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites) do not match patterns of breast cancer in California (lowest in Asians and Hispanics). A key to progress in breast cancer prevention will lie in reconciling critical paradoxes like this one. This grant examines whether race differences in placental characteristics shed light on this paradox. |

Project Title: |
|
|
Description: |
Examines how birth weight and other prenatal and childhood factors influences risk for diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer and brain function in adulthood. This project is collaboration between CHDS investigators and Columbia University (Ezra Susser, Principal Investigator), Harvard University, University of California, Davis, and Kaiser Permanente Division of Research. This project launches a new era of research at the CHDS focused on adult health of CHDS "children", now in their 30's and 40's. |
