Genetics is helping to uncover the inherited factors behind many heart conditions. Understanding these genetic risks allows for personalised care, early interventions, and more effective management of heart disease for patients and their families.
Testing solid tumours for specific genetic changes (somatic genetic testing) that can help determine prognosis and direct therapy.
