Wednesday Nov 15, 2023
Host: Denise M. Dupras, M.D., Ph.D.
Guest: Victor E. Ortega, M.D., Ph.D.
Common respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often present differently in individuals. What is the genetic basis for this difference and how can we use knowledge of genetic factors to support patient care? Additionally, the implications of applying genetics across diverse populations are explored. Listen in to hear about this and more in Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine’s Genes & Your Health podcast miniseries featuring Victor E. Ortega, M.D., Ph.D.

Wednesday Nov 08, 2023
Host: Denise M. Dupras, M.D., Ph.D.
Guest: Kullo, Iftikhar J., M.D.
While genetic conditions and risk for disease have traditionally been focused on monogenetic causes, it is now recognized that multiple genetic changes are often involved in risk for disease. What conditions are polygenetic and what should we be looking for to help identify these risks for our patients? Find out more in the latest episode of Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine’s Genes & Your Health podcast miniseries featuring Iftikhar J. Kullo.
