Learning Objectives / Objectifs d'apprentissage:

At the end of this session participants will be able to / Au terme de cette conférence, vous serez:

describe a polygenic risk score and highlight how is can be used in clinical diagnosis of CVD;
describe a polygenic risk score for diabetes and how it helps classify diabetes subtypes; and
determine whether metabolomic markers can replace the use of a diet history in clinical and research.

Session Description: This session will highlight new techniques in precision medicine that are in use in clinical practice today or have a great potential to become commonly used in the future.
