Genomewide association studies are increasingly being applied to search for novel genes that might underlie cardiovascular diseases. In this article, we briefly review the principles that underlie modern genetic analyses and provide several illustrations from the SardiNIA study of genomewide association studies for cardiovascular risk factor traits.
全基因组关联研究正越来越多地被用于寻找可能是心血管疾病潜在病因的新基因。在本文中,我们简要回顾现代基因分析所依据的原理,并提供撒丁岛人心血管疾病风险因素性状全基因组关联研究(SardiNIA研究)中的几个例证。
