About This Study
The purpose of this study is to help people learn what it is like to take part in a research study. Volunteers will have the chance to visit a research site and learn about the types of tests and procedures that may be done before deciding if they want to join a future gene editing study. This study is for volunteers who may have, or be at risk for, heart or blood vessel disease caused by a buildup of fat and cholesterol in the arteries. They may also have high cholesterol or other high levels of fat in your blood that are not well controlled.
