TL;DR: An international multidisciplinary meeting was held in May 2010 in Ickworth, United Kingdom, with the aim of setting an agenda for the development of public health in an era of genome-based and “personalized” medicine, suggesting a need to reconfigure both the focus for existing genomic research and the stage at which funding is targeted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interpretation of recurring weak associations obtained from epidemiologic studies of suspected human teratogens.
TL;DR: In this paper, it is illustrated that low relative risk recurring in well-designed studies may reflect underlying biologic mechanisms and should not be readily dismissed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emergence of epidemiology in the genomics age
TL;DR: It is shown how synergistic interaction between genomics and epidemiology is not only mutually beneficial but crucial to the optimal development of each field in the 21st century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population study of congenital hypothyroidism and associated birth defects, Atlanta, 1979-1992.

TL;DR: This is the first population study of CH in the United States in which data from two population-based registries were linked, and the epidemiologic patterns and associated defects are more representative than those found in studies based on newborn screening records only.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Estimates of allele frequency and genotype prevalence for 90 variants in 50 genes chosen for their potential public health significance were calculated by age, sex, and race/ethnicity among non-Hispanic whites, non- Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans, providing a valuable resource for future epidemiologic studies in public health in the US.
