Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Differential Gene Expression
Differences in platelet transcriptome before and after 2-week aspirin therapy The expression levels of genes before aspirin therapy was compared with the expression level of the genes after aspirin therapy. The expression levels were measured using the FPKM unit (Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads). The gene with the highest difference (pre vs. post) in FPKM is being reported with name in the units area and the actual difference in the number area

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This clinical trial will examine with effect of 2-week aspirin therapy on platelet gene expression in persons at high-risk of developing heart attacks due to family history of early-onset coronary artery disease
Detailed Description
In this clinical trials we will select individuals from GeneSTAR cohort based o their platelet function. Equal number of individuals will be selected from each race and gender and from low or high platelet aggregation. We will have baseline platelet functions performed and baseline platelet gene expression examined. Participants will be given 2-week supply of aspirin(81 mg/daily) and will be examined at the end of 2-weeks with platelet aggregation studies and a repeat platelet gene-expression (using RNA-seq). The ultimate goal is to examine platelet gene expression differences due to aspirin and across different gender, race, platelet-aggregation groups.
