| dbo:abstract |
The Texas Vampires were a group of researchers from Baylor College of Medicine who in 1998 conducted a study on arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) among the population of Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The study team was led by Dr. Robert Roberts (cardiologist), who was president and CEO of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute from 2004-2014. Because of the settlement pattern and isolation of the province's population, Newfoundland has "big clusters" of certain genetic conditions, making it a focus of research in genetics. In 1998, one such "cluster" emerged in the community of Grand Falls-Windsor, where a number of people were found to have ARVD and some died of the condition. A group of researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine arrived in Newfoundland to study the community. The group collected blood samples, family histories and electrocardiographs (EKGs) from community members in order to test for a particular biomarker indicating a genetic predisposition to the condition.
