2019 Research Update: Dr. Jeff Boris

In a 2019 interview from the American Autonomic Society conference, Dr. Jeffrey Boris, a pediatric cardiologist, discusses his research identifying a potential genetic link to POTS related to smooth muscle function. This gene may impact how blood vessels contract and relax, affecting blood pressure regulation. The ongoing study at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia aims to determine the gene's role in causing POTS. Dr. Boris highlights emerging research directions, including autoimmune and genetic investigations of POTS, and emphasizes the importance of developing effective treatments. He underscores the role of donations in advancing research outside of traditional funding sources like NIH.
