South Asian Cardiovascular Genetic Consortium
Goal: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify novel genes for cardiovascular disease (CVD)
- We are organizing various unrelated Indian cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease patients and their family members (TRIOS) for genome analysis.
- Methods involved: Whole exome sequencing and targeted sequencing to identify the candidate genes associated with the disease.
- We are also interested in RASopathy related disorders
- So far we have collected 5500 samples. If you are interested to be a part of this consortium, please contact us at dhan@instem.res.in
