Systems for Research and Evaluation for Translating Genome-Based Discoveries for Health

With the advent of genome-wide association studies, numerous associations between specific gene loci and complex diseases have been identified—for breast cancer, coronary artery disease, and asthma, for example. This rapidly advancing field of genomics has stirred great interest in "personalized" health care from both the public and private sectors. The hope is that using genomic information in cl...
