        分子流行病学再揭示人类复杂疾病遗传因素及其与环境因素相互作用发挥重要作用,为人类疾病的风险评估、预防和个性化治疗提供依据。全基因组关联分析(GWAS)为全面系统研究复杂疾病的遗传因素掀开了新的一页,为我们了解人类复杂疾病的发病机制提供了更多的线索。科学家已经在肥胖、糖尿病、冠心病、阿尔茨海默、乳腺癌、前列腺癌、肺癌、胃癌等一系列复杂疾病中进行了全基因组关联研究并找到疾病相关的易感基因,我国科学家也在银屑病、精神病和冠心病等方面开展了GWAS研究并取得成效。国家科技部最新公布了“常见重大疾病全基因组关联分析和药物基因组学研究”的863重点项目,吹响了我国大规模开展GWAS研究的号角。为了让更多的相关研究人员,特别是广大研究生了解GWAS的研究原理和方法,学会设计GWAS的研究和分析实验结果,同时在癌症领域分享海内外研究专家们的成功经验,并期待在GWAS方面进行交流合作,复旦大学和美国Van Andel 研究所将于2009年7月12-14日在上海联合举办上海分子流行病学与GWAS国际 研讨会, 期待各位同道免费参加,请有意者及时将回执返回联系邮箱。

Background

Recent success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the U.S. and Europe has lead to the identification of a large number of genetic variants that are associated with disease risk and progression, including those for cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The discovery of these genetic markers not only improves our understanding of disease etiology, but also contributes significantly to risk prediction, early detection, and targeted treatment of diseases.

Although GWAS have been used in Chinese populations to identify Chinese-specific risk-associated genetic variants for several common diseases such as breast cancer and psoriasis, many more GWAS are needed for various diseases. A better understanding of the importance of GWAS and a better knowledge of study design and data analysis of GWAS will further promote broad application of GWAS in China. This symposium which will cover genetic epidemiology and GWAS in China is organized to serve this purpose. We have invited a group of experts in this area from the U.S. and China to share their experience in GWAS, and we hope to foster an environment which will encourage an open discussion among all participants.


Objectives

• To better understand the potential applications of GWAS
• To address practical issues in study design, implementation, and data analysis of GWAS
• To promote interaction and collaboration among researchers who are interested in GWAS
• To explore other important studies after GWAS: gene-environment interaction, risk prediction, and functional analyses
• To consider issues and implications related to genomic and personalize medicine


Organizing committee

The organizing committee consists of four members:
Dr. Jianfeng Xu (Co-Chair)
Dr. Daru Lu (Co-Chair)
Dr. Li Jin (Co-Chair ,Advisor)
Dr. Qingyi Wei (Co-Chair, Advisor)
