System Design Key Features Instructions Protocols Materials PCR Protocol DNA Measurement Protocol Research and Development Background on Disease Markers Our group decided to look at two different diseases, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Cardiovascular disease refers to any disease that affects the cardiovascular system, principally cardiac disease, vascular diseases of the brain and kidney, and peripheral arterial disease. The associated mutation for metabolic syndrome was rs1800206, and for cardiovascular disease it was rs1801253. Primer Design Forward Primer: Reverse Primer: 5'TCACAAGTGCC3' Illustration
