Genetics and cardiovascular disease: Design and development of a DNA biobank
Experimental and Clinical Cardiology, 11/16/09
Jayasinghe SR et al. – The most frequent pathology encountered in the biobank is CAD. The significance of the familial occurrence of CAD has been the focus of research for at least 50 years, with a positive family history of CV disease emerging as an independent predictor of risk in the development of CAD. By applying the knowledge learned from studies on CV genetics together with the data from the DNA biobank, scientists may be able to effectively prevent and treat CV diseases in the future.
