Description:
Blood samples will be collected at baseline as well as at 1 year follow up. At both time points, a total blood volume of up to 50 mL will be collected using EDTA and serum tubes, while patients are seated. Samples will be spun at 1800 rpm and plasma aliquoted. Samples will be frozen immediately at -80 C. For patients who opt to participate in the genetic portion of this study, buffy coat aliquoting and processing will be executed using the same blood samples.
