Clinical genomics and the adult with congenital heart disease: new opportunities

摘要

We are intrigued by the article by Priest and Ashley.1 The importance of genomics has been clearly identified and the article beautifully describes the role of genetics in cardiovascular medicine but concentrates on inherited arrhythmias, cardiomyop-athies and occasional pharmacogenomic profiling.1 We suggest they have failed to consider the large, unrecognised need for genomics in adults patients with congenital heart conditions.
