Our research program involves the following milestones: 1. identification of susceptibility genes using candidate-gene and gene-expression profile-based approaches; 2. evaluation of the clinical predictive valueof the susceptibility genes; 3. investigation of the impact of the susceptibility genes on the determinants of adoption of healthy behaviors and 4. integration of genetic information into primary and secondary prevention strategies.OpenSubtitles2018.v3 OpenSubtitles2018.v3
