Define characteristics of increased familial risk for coronary heart disease
Describe the current state of genomic risk assessment for coronary heart disease
Explain the phenotypic complexity of cardiovascular disease and its impact on
genetic studies
Contrast the gene identification methods of linkage and association studies
Describe the common disease/common variant hypothesis in relation to
cardiovascular disease
