Genetics and Genomics: ethical, social and community implications; health disparities; and gene-environment interactions

Monday, November 2, 2015: 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Poster
This session will address several key areas of public health genetics. The integration of genetics and genomics into clinical practice and public health holds much promise for improved health outcomes. There are issues that require further study before this promise can be realized. This session presents issues at the cutting edge of public health genetics and genomics.
Session Objectives: Identify factors associated with public health genetics and genomics.
