Genetics Primer for the General Cardiologist
Not all patients respond to drug therapy in a uniform and beneficial fashion. The goal of this review is to describe the contribution of genetic variation to drug response, with a focus on drugs used in cardiovascular therapy. Genetic approaches used to analyze rare and common adverse effects as well as variability in efficacy are presented first. The challenges and potential solutions to incor...
متن کاملGenetics Primer for the General Cardiologist Functional Genomics Applied to Cardiovascular Medicine
Since completion of the draft sequence of the human genome in 2000, the landscape of biomedical research has undergone a rapid transformation. Growing knowledge of genome structure and variation has spawned the development of technologies that allow researchers to study thousands of genes, transcripts, and proteins simultaneously. This has expanded biomedical science beyond reductionist approac...
متن کاملGenetics Primer for the General Cardiologist Epigenetic Modifications Basic Mechanisms and Role in Cardiovascular Disease
The term epigenetics was first used to refer to the complex interactions between the genome and the environment that are involved in development and differentiation in higher organisms. Today, this term is used to refer to heritable alterations that are not due to changes in DNA sequence. Rather, epigenetic modifications, or tags, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, alter DNA acce...
متن کاملGenetics Primer for the General Cardiologist Genetic Testing for Potentially Lethal, Highly Treatable Inherited Cardiomyopathies/Channelopathies in Clinical Practice
T he molecular millennium has bestowed researchers with the essential tools to identify the underlying genetic substrates for thousands of genetic disorders, most of which are rare and follow mendelian inheritance patterns. The genetic bases of potentially lethal and heritable cardiomyop-athies and cardiac channelopathies, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM...
متن کاملGenetics Primer for the General Cardiologist Impact of Genetic Insights Into Mendelian Disease on Cardiovascular Clinical Practice
Recent advances in the field of genetics have significantly enhanced our understanding of many cardiovascular conditions and improved diagnosis as well as management of these disorders. However, mendelian cardiovascular diseases still pose unique challenges to clinicians, especially when presented with inherited conditions that have a wide range of phenotypic presentations. In cardiovascular si...
