Funded Activity Summary

Can modern genetic analysis identify the genes which predict future heart attacks? We will follow up 4337 patients who have already suffered a heart attack and use the findings from the exciting new technique of GWAS (Gene wide association studies) to study their whole genetic map, select gene markers from thousands of possibilities to identify those at highest risk. This will develop a genetic markers of risk and shed light on previously unsuspected mechanisms of heart disease.
