Key result
Genetic polymorphisms of brain natriuretic peptide are associated with cardiovascular diseases, making genetic testing of these markers an important step towards personalized care for heart failure.
Why the study?
Study of the structure and function of the NPPA-NPPB locus may help to better identify patients at risk of future cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart failure.

Genetic testing of natriuretic peptide markers, particularly the NPPA-NPPB locus, may help identify patients at risk for cardiovascular diseases and heart failure, paving the way for personalized medicine.
Currently, natriuretic peptides (including brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)) are widely used in clinical practice as biomarkers for various cardiovascular diseases. Study of the structure and function of NPPA-NPPB locus can help to better identify patients at risk of future cardiovascular diseases, in particular heart failure.
