The Research Center for Human Genetics is using modern genomic technologies to unravel the genetic predisposition to the most common chronic diseases, such as heart disease and stroke. Identifying and characterizing the genes underlying cardiovascular disease susceptibility promises to offer new treatment strategies (e.g. drugs) and even prevent their occurrence altogether.
