Vasospasm is a transient contraction causing a decrease in caliber of a vessel and thus a decrease in vascularization in a vascular territory leading to suffering of tissue in the sector concerned. Vasospasm-related diseases have different clinical presentations such as migraine, spastic angina, hypertension related to vasospasm or primary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). These diseases have few therapeutic methods due to poorly understood pathophysiology. For migraine and angina, the vascular exploration is problematic unlike for primary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP).
Primary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a common peripheral vascular disease to cold with an estimated prevalence between 5-9 % of the general population. It is the expression of an extreme vasospasm microcirculation of the extremities linked to hypersensitivity to cold and that is clinically expressed by the occurrence of syncope stages where the fingers are anesthetized and white, followed by a stage with hyperemic restaining .
The objective of our study is to identify new metabolic pathways involved in vasospasm in order to consider new specific treatments, currently lacking.
The identification of these pathways will be made by the detection of genetic abnormalities causing vasospasm in Raynaud's phenomenon. This disease is a perfectly appropriate model to study vasospasm by its high frequency in the population, its hereditary nature and simple diagnosis. The powerful current genetic strategies will be applied to this model (exome sequencing combined to family connection analysis).

| Primary Raynaud's Phenomenon (PR) Genetic Mutations Causing PR Study of Patients and Their Relatives (With or Without Primary PR) | Genetic: Demonstration of genetic mutations causing Raynaud's phenomenon | Not Applicable |
Patients with primary Raynaud phenomenon will be identified during a consultation of vascular medicine and internal medicine in one of the centers participating to the study. Those patients with a primary PR will be considered as Index cases.
In all participating centers, there will be a recruitment of index cases without family screening to form a series of cases that will validate the results obtained in family forms.
The investigators will conduct genealogical trees of index cases to identify families, whose number of healthy individuals and those with relevant PR makes sense for a family genetic study, i.e. a genetically informative family.
In all centers, relatives of included Index cases, agreeing to participate in this research, will be enrolled and followed.
Nantes University Hospital is the only center to perform a cold test (for reasons of availability of the technique) but this test will be reserved for patients whose diagnosis of primary Raynaud's phenomenon would be doubtful. Exposed identified relatives, agreeing to participate in this research, will all be included and followed in their enrollment center.

| Experimental: Patient with Raynaud's phenomenon |
Genetic: Demonstration of genetic mutations causing Raynaud's phenomenon
Such an approach allows to highlight chromosomal regions shared only by individuals within a family and thus highlight the genetic mutations causing the Raynaud phenomenon . The ultimate goal is to identify new pathways involved in vasospasm. Patients with primary Raynaud phenomenon will be identified during a consultation of vascular medicine and internal medicine in one of the centers participating to the study. Those patients with a primary PR will be considered as Index cases. The investigators will conduct genealogical trees of index cases to identify families, whose number of healthy individuals and those with relevant PR makes sense for a family genetic study, i.e. a genetically informative family. Other Names:

- To identify number of genes involved in vasospasm of primary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and determine the genetic cause of primary RP [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon and their relatives will be recruited to establish familial forms of Raynaud's phenomenon. This will allow perform genetic analysis using new approaches to genetic broadband (exome sequencing analysis + linkage analysis). This approach will allow specify which chromosomal regions are shared only by affected individuals, and identify new candidate genes
- To determine number of phenotypes associated to genotype of primary Raynaud's phenomenon [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Based on the identified genes in different families, a descriptive analysis will allow associate them with different RP phenotypes (isolated RP or RP associated with migraines, angina or hypertension) and risk factors.
