Delivery of Genomic Medicine for Common Chronic Adult Diseases: A Systematic Review — 2008
Synthesizes current information on genetic health services for common adult-onset conditions by examining studies that have addressed the outcomes, consumer information needs, delivery, and challenges in integrating these services.
Delivery of Genomic Medicine for Common Chronic Adult Diseases — 2008
This fact sheet summarizes recommendations for health care workers, consumers, and the scientific community to prepare the health care system for genomic medicine for common chronic diseases.
Relation of Familial Patterns of Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, and Diabetes to Subclinical Atherosclerosis: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis — 2008
Investigate the possibility that family history beyond early-onset coronary heart disease might contribute to coronary heart disease susceptibility, the authors studied associations between additional family history and the coronary artery calcium score.
