Introduction: Atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease (PAD) leads to a great burden of cardiovascular and limb-related morbidity and mortality in African Americans (AA) compared to White Americans. Medical center partnerships with churches may be an effective method to improve PAD awareness and detection in the AA community. Hypotheses: We hypothesized that implementing a medical educational program in partnership with churches would increase PAD familiarity and identify participants with undiagnosed PAD. Aims: To determine (1) PAD familiarity before and after a one-time educational intervention and (2) the prevalence of PAD in older, church-going Nashville residents. Methods: Using a community-engaged research (CER) model, we partnered with 5 churches to enroll participants ≥ 50 years of age. Participants were given a 16-point pre- and post-educational program assessment to determine baseline and post-intervention PAD knowledge. Pre- and post-intervention scores were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Ankle-brachial index (ABI) testing was used to screen for PAD (ABI < 0.9). Results: We enrolled 120 participants (mean age [SD]: 64.67 [8.33] years, 74% women, 80% AA). The prevalence of PAD was 10.83%. Pre-intervention PAD awareness was low (mean score (MS): 10.89 [4.24]) and improved significantly post-intervention in all participants (MS: 13.88 [2.76; p=2 x 10 -12 ). Participants without PAD (ABI ≥ 0.9-1.39) (MS: 10.81 [4.28] vs. 13.91 [2.79]; p= p=4 x 10 -11 ) and with indeterminate status (ABI>1.4) (MS [SD]: 10.00 [5.03] vs. 14.10 [1.73; p=0.01) showed significant improvement in PAD awareness pre vs post intervention. Participants with PAD (ABI <0.9) (MS: 12.15 [3.26] vs. 13.46 [3.26; p=0.40) did not have significant improvement in their awareness scores. Conclusions: The PRAISE study demonstrates an effective CER partnership with churches as a method to increase PAD awareness and early detection of PAD, specifically among AAs.

Sonic hedgehog signaling regulates processes of embryonic development across multiple tissues, yet factors regulating context-specific Shh signaling remain poorly understood. Exome sequencing of families with polymicrogyria (disordered cortical folding) revealed multiple individuals with biallelic deleterious variants in TMEM161B , which encodes a multi-pass transmembrane protein of unknown function. Tmem161b null mice demonstrated holoprosencephaly, craniofacial midline defects, eye defects, and spinal cord patterning changes consistent with impaired Shh signaling, but were without limb defects, suggesting a CNS-specific role of Tmem161b. Tmem161b depletion impaired the response to Smoothened activation in vitro and disrupted cortical histogenesis in vivo in both mouse and ferret models, including leading to abnormal gyration in the ferret model. Tmem161b localizes non-exclusively to the primary cilium, and scanning electron microscopy revealed shortened, dysmorphic, and ballooned ventricular zone cilia in the Tmem161b null mouse, suggesting that the Shh-related phenotypes may reflect ciliary dysfunction. Our data identify TMEM161B as a regulator of cerebral cortical gyration, as involved in primary ciliary structure, as a regulator of Shh signaling, and further implicate Shh signaling in human gyral development.
