Title:　Studies on genetic contribution to complex human diseases
Complex diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cancers, are defined as diseases that are ultimately determined by a number of genetic and environmental factors. Although the genetic pattern of complex diseases through a family usually is not very clear, understanding the genetic component is indispensable to understand pathobiology of these diseases. Due to the recent great advances in technologies to decipher the human genome, the extensive knowledge of the genetic variations across the entire human genome is accumulating in diverse ancestral groups. The understanding of genetic heritability for numerous diseases, however, still remains to be elucidated although the tremendous efforts have been concentrated on this area. Furthermore, the full discovery of genetic variations for common complex diseases such as diabetes and obesity may be particularly challenging due to the small effects of variants associated with these diseases. This presentation will introduce the brief history of genetic approaches conducted to date to gain insight into the genetic basis for complex diseases. In addition, some attempts to link from genetic association studies to biology will be discussed. All of these efforts will contribute to providing infrastructural genetic information for complex diseases in realizing precision medicine in the near future.
