Abstract

Advances in mouse and human genome research have dramatically altered the landscape and pace of advances in the diagnosis and treatment and many diseases. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a major complication of systemic atherosclerosis and healthcare problem. Genetic and genomic research has done little to alter the diagnosis and management PAD, but this likely will change in the near future. This chapter will examine how rodent and human genetics in PAD may soon guide advances and eventually personalized therapies.
