Utilizing Population Genomics to Enhance Understanding, Prediction, & Management of Heart Failure
Time: 1:35 pm
day: Pre-Conference Day
Details:
Deep dive into the intricate landscape of heart failure and its genetic underpinnings through a comprehensive exploration of genome-wide association studies. Uncover the the newest advancements in genome-wide association studies concerning heart failure and cardiomyopathy. We will discuss how these studies have been used to achieve several goals:
- Identifying new genetic loci linked to these diseases
- Creating polygenic risk scores to enhance disease prediction accuracy
- Carrying out Mendelian randomization experiments, including those that may have implications for potential drug targets
