Clinical Trial Summary
This project is a program-wide genetic tissue databank for the Department of Veterans
Affairs Cooperative Studies Program (CSP). The genetic tissue bank has four components: a
central repository for DNA and other genetic tissue specimens; a Scientific Advisory
Committee of individuals with expertise in the genetics and epidemiology of diseases with
special importance to the VA (including cardiovascular, neurologic, respiratory,
psychological and other disorders); an Ethics Oversight Committee of individuals with
expertise in bioethics and the law, as they apply to the collection and use of genetic
tissue, and a Coordinating Center that administers the tissue bank, coordinates the
scientific and ethics oversight committees, maintains central access to clinical study data
linked to the tissue bank, and provides statistical analysis.
Description:
Intervention: No intervention.
Primary Hypothesis: It is feasible and cost-effective to create a CSP-wide facility for
banking genetic tissue in CSP studies.
Study Abstract: This is a program-wide genetic tissue databank for the Department of

other disorders); an Ethical Oversight Committee of individuals with expertise in bioethics
and the law, as they apply to the collection and use of genetic tissue, A Veteran's Advisory
Group, and a Coordinating Center administers the tissue bank, coordinates the three
oversight committees, maintains central access to clinical study data linked to the tissue
bank, and provides statistical analysis.
