Genetic variations linked to cardiovascular disease risk factors from childhood to adulthood
Common variants that can be identified in a child’s DNA may help predict the genetic predisposition for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors later in life, according to research findings published in a Sept. 2010 issue of PLoS Genetics. The research project, headed by scientists at Scripps Translational Science Institute, is the first genome-wide association study to evaluate the role of common genetic variants in the development of CVD risk factors in adults whose health has been tracked from childhood.
