Investigator
Grant Activity:
Adding value to Medicare/PBS to find the genetic causes of mental health problems and translate this to preventive measures
Purpose:
Most of the health burden in western countries is from diseases that have large genetic components due to the combined small effects of many different genes. We can now cheaply type all these gene variants and add them up to produce a polygenic risk score (PRS) so an individual could know their risk of e.g. heart attack, depression, and take preventive action. I will recruit large patient samples to enhance current PRS and trial provision of this genetic information back to the patient.
