Outline of R&D
New disease-associated genes, polymorphisms, and mutations are constantly being reported. However, elucidation of disease mechanisms is not easy, due to the contributions of multiple factors to each disease, contributions of single factors to multiple diseases, and genomic differences among human populations. This project constructs a database by collecting, analyzing, and organizing results from large-scale genome-wide studies of relevant associations among genomes, gene polymorphisms, mutations, diseases, and clinical information, with a focus on Asian populations. The project aims to promote studies of genetic factors and molecular epidemiology of diseases and to accelerate realization of individualized medicine.
