The Propagation of Racial Disparities in Cardiovascular Genomics Research.

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Genomics research has improved our understanding of the genetic basis for human traits and diseases. Here, we review the current disparities in cardiovascular genomics research, and we outline how these disparities propagate forward through all phases of the translational pipeline.

🔑 Key Findings

• This progress is now being translated into clinical care as we move toward a future of precision medicine.
• Many hope that expanded use of genomic testing will improve disease screening, diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment.
• In many respects, cardiovascular medicine is leading this charge.
