Study Probes Genomes for Individual Health Clues

Genome.gov/ClinSeq - Play Video Researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute are delving deep into the human genome to learn more about the genetic cause of disease. A study called ClinSeq wants to enroll 1,000 people over the next two years to scan their genome sequence for the genetic warning signs of coronary artery disease. This short video about ClinSeq explains what a study participant can expect and how medical sequencing in the clinic works.
