Outline of Final Research Achievements

The discovery of genetic risk factors for many common diseases in the past couple of years has been enormously exciting. But we are still in the early stages of this revolution. We know that most diseases like diabetes are highly heritable, with, on average, about 50 percent of the risk attributable to genetics. Yet our genetic analysis has so far discovered less than 10 percent of that hereditary component.
Therefore, the identification of new epigenomic variationes as well as new genomic variations that are associated with common diseases including coronary artery diseases (CADs), type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension have to be made future efforts
