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 />
