RESEARCH BRIEF

Delivery of Genomic Medicine for Common Chronic Adult Diseases — Apr 2, 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.

NEWS RELEASE

Health Professionals and the Public Unprepared to Make Use of Genomic Medicine for Adults — Mar 18, 2008

Although advances in genomic medicine for common adult chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer hold promise for improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment, health professionals and the public are not prepared to effectively integrate these new tools into practice.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Delivery of Genomic Medicine for Common Chronic Adult Diseases: A Systematic Review — Dec 31, 2007

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.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Relation of Familial Patterns of Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, and Diabetes to Subclinical Atherosclerosis: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis — Dec 31, 2007

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.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Haplotypes in the Lipoprotein Lipase Gene Influence High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Response to Statin Therapy and Progression of Atherosclerosis in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts — Jan 31, 2007

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes circulating triglycerides (TGs). We previously showed that 3'-end haplotypes in the LPL gene influence atherosclerosis and insulin resistance. This study asked whether these LPL haplotypes influence response to lipid-lowering therapy among 829 subjects from the Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft trial. Lipid profiles were obtained at baseline and 4-5 years after treatment with lovastatin.

JOURNAL ARTICLE
