Impact of Elastin Mediated Vascular Stiffness on End Organs
Background People with Williams Syndrome (WS) and supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) have less elasticity in their blood vessels. This is called blood vessel stiffness. Blood vessels may have focal narrowings called stenoses or may just be globally more narrow. Objectives Researchers want to see how blood vessel differences in people …
Natural History Study of Biomarkers in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Background High blood pressure in the lungs, known as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), is a rare disorder. Some people have disease-associated PAH and some have PAH from an unknown cause.

Pediatric OSA can be especially concerning and can have long-term effects. Researchers want to see how a monitoring device called near-infrared …
Feasibility of Adipose Tissue Triglyceride (TG) Labelling in Familial Partial Lipodystrophy (FPLD)
Background People with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) do not store fat in the body normally. This can lead to serious illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease. To learn more about FPLD, researchers want to compare the fat tissue in people with this disease to the fat tissue of healthy …
