The Hirschhorn Laboratory applies genetic and genomic methods to study the genetics of complex traits-- diseases and quantitative phenotypes that are influenced by multiple genetic and nongenetic factors. Our work focuses on obesity, cardiovascular quantitative traits, and stature (a model complex trait). The lab has many collaborations including David Altshuler, Mark Daly and others at the Broad to study type 2 diabetes and hormone-responsive cancers. In addition, members of the lab use population genetic and computational approaches to develop improved methods for deciphering the genetics of common diseases and complex traits.
