The Center for Applied Genomics (CAG) is a Center of Emphasis at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with the primary goal of discovering and translating basic research findings into medical innovations. The Center is one of the world’s largest genetics research and analytical facilities. It is the primary center at a pediatric hospital with access to state-of-the-art high-throughput genotyping technology, and has processed genetic samples from over 100,000 people. The Center is focused on detecting the genetic causes of some of the most prevalent childhood diseases including (but not limited to) asthma, obesity, ADHD, autism, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and pediatric cancer, all of which are thought to involve multiple, interacting genes within the body. == Mission Statement == The mission of the Center for Applied Genomics (CAG) is to develop new and better ways to diagnose and treat children affected by complex medical disorders. The Center is a specialized Center of Emphasis at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with the primary goal of translating basic research findings to medical innovations. We aim to discover genetic causes for the most prevalent diseases of childhood including asthma, autism, diabetes, epilepsy, obesity, schizophrenia, and pediatric cancer. Ultimately, our objective is to generate new diagnostic tests and to guide physicians to the most appropriate therapies. The Center is one of the world's largest genetics research programs, and the lead center at a pediatric hospital to have large-scale access to state-of-the-art high-throughput genotyping technology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center for Applied Genomics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
