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 variations as well as new genomic variations that are associated with lifestyle-related diseases including coronary artery diseases(CADs), type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension have to be made future efforts.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

陽性的中率などの信頼性のある指標を得るためには、縦断研究によって、検証することが必須である。
我々は、信頼性の高い大規模症例―対照研究(横断研究)を実施するための研究基盤を確立し、また、縦断研究コホートとして、健康管理体制の確立した企業従業員コホート(NGK Study,NCT00408824)および、北名古屋市民コホート(北名古屋ゲノム疫学研究:KING Study,NCT00262691)を構築した。エピゲノム情報と生活習慣病リスク因子との関連や新規バイオマーカーを検索し、心筋梗塞をはじめとした生活習慣病の包括的リスク判定アルゴリズムの構築と検証的前向き研究を始める。
