Linking genotypes to phenotypes: Recent<br />

advances and insights for future research<br />

Chair: Brid Ryan, NCI<br />

In recent years, the biological implications of many genetic discoveries have been<br />

translated such that their extension into policy and public health practice is now upon us.<br />

This session will delve into the three main steps in the translation of genomics to public<br />

health; discovery, deciphering biological consequence and integration into medicine and<br />

public health. Key and innovative <strong>NIH</strong>-led projects such as ENCODE and dbGAP will be<br />

highlighted, as will examples of their utility in on-going research. Examples of research<br />

linking genotypes to phenotypes in cancer and addiction will also be presented. Finally,<br />

the session will culminate with an insightful discussion of the third and perhaps most<br />

challenging step, i.e, the integration of genomics research into medicine and policy. This<br />

proposed session on the linkage of genotypes to phenotypes unites a multitude of related<br />

research areas. It will take the audience on an educational, research motivated and<br />

perceptive tour of this emerging field.<br />
