Human Genetics
Many HGS faculty use genomic approaches to understand the genetic basis for human phenotypic variation and disease, and to apply these insights towards precision medicine advances. These include genome sequencing studies to discover genes that contribute to rare diseases, large-scale trait association studies to map the genetic basis of common diseases and other complex traits, and clinically focused efforts to improve disease diagnosis and polygenic risk prediction. This research area also encompasses experimental studies in model systems to understand how genetic variation influences human traits.
