Episode Synopsis

 In this episode, I engage in a conversation with Dr. Kaya Kvarme Jacobsen, an MD PhD from the University of Bergen, Norway, about genetic epidemiology and hip dysplasia. Our discussion delves into her recent co-authored paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10820335/
a contribution to a large-scale population study from Trøndelag, Norway. Specific single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with hip dysplasia were identified. We explore the intricacies of whole genome sequencing, the significance of SNPs, potential genetic and epigenetic factors influencing hip dysplasia, the evolving landscape of personalized medicine, and the myriad of unanswered questions within the realm of hip dysplasia genetics.
