Genetic Risk Information for Coronary Heart Disease Leads to Lower Bad Cholesterol
By Jeff Briggs 
A group of researchers led by Mayo Clinic, and with substantive support from to the Center for Individualized Medicine, has discovered that disclosing genetic risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) results in lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), also known as bad cholesterol. The findings of the Myocardial Infarction Genes (MI-GENES) study were presented recently at […]

Exploring Infrastructure for Sequencing-Based PGx Results in EMRs
By Center for Individualized Medicine
Post Originally Featured On GenomeWeb. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic are forging ahead with a pilot project that will integrate sequencing-based pharmacogenomics data into the electronic medical records of more than 1,000 patients and allow doctors to consider the information when they prescribe certain drugs. The project is […]
