2016年12月27日/生物谷BIOON/---由美国格伊辛格卫生系统(Geisinger Health System, GHS)和Regeneron遗传学中心(Regeneron Genetics Center, RGC)合作开展的一项研究发现一种威胁生命的被称作家族性高胆固醇血症(Familial Hypercholesterolemia, FH)的遗传病未被充分诊断和治疗。相关研究结果发表在2016年12月23日那期Science期刊上,论文标题为“Genetic identification of familial hypercholesterolemia within a single U.S. health care system”。GHS和RGC合作完成的另一项发表在同期Science期刊上的研究描述了DiscovEHR组群(DiscovEHR cohort)中首批50,726名成年人参与者的外显子组测序和分析结果,其中这些人都是格伊辛格MyCode社区健康计划(Geisinger MyCode Community Health Initiative)的成员。
格伊辛格卫生系统执行副总裁、首席科学家David H. Ledbetter博士说,“格伊辛格卫生系统致力于将这项重要的研究直接转化为改善对我们的病人的治疗。”(生物谷 Bioon.com)
