Methods in Genetics and Clinical Interpretation HapMap and Mapping Genes for Cardiovascular Disease
A key goal of biomedical science is to understand why individuals differ in their susceptibility to disease. Family history is among the established risk factors for most forms of cardiovascular disease, in part because inherited DNA sequence variants play a causal role in disease susceptibility. Consequently, the search for these variants has intensified over the past decade.1–3 One class of D...
متن کاملGenes, environment, and cardiovascular disease.
In this essay, we call to attention what every medical researcher knows about the etiology of cardiovascular disease but most deny, or choose to ignore, when designing, carrying out, and reporting genetic studies. Medical research is entering an era of synthesis that will take advantage of the successes of reductionism over the past decade in defining and describing human genome variations. Mea...
متن کاملCardiovascular disease: genes and public health.
INTRODUCTION The advances in molecular biology hold great promise for complex conditions such as cardiovascular disease. Early accurate diagnosis and new preventive and treatment strategies are among the potential benefits of genetic understanding. Many genes and mutations have been discovered that contribute to rare Mendelian forms of cardiovascular disease. However, there has been little tang...
متن کاملMapping Nucleotide Sequences that Encode Complex Binary Disease Traits with HapMap
Detecting the patterns of DNA sequence variants across the human genome is a crucial step for unraveling the genetic basis of complex human diseases. The human HapMap constructed by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provides efficient sequence variation information that can speed up the discovery of genes related to common diseases. In this article, we present a generalized linear model fo...
متن کاملPre-travel Health Advice for Patients With Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among international travellers. Practitioner knowledge of the effects of CVD on international travel is imperative in order to promote a healthy travel experience. This review aimed to explore the available literature on this topic. The PubMed database was accessed to source relevant literature using combinations of relevant keywords as...
