Study identifies patients’ genetic risk for cardiovascular disease
A person’s genetics may hold the key to early intervention in cardiovascular disease, leading to better outcomes in patient care. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Human Genome Sequencing Center and Baylor cardiologists conducted a pilot study to determine if providing genetic testing for patients in cardiovascular clinics would benefit clinical care as part of a precision medicine initiative. They found that the test results did have implications on the course of treatment for approximately one-third of participants. Their results are published in the journal Genetics in Medicine.
