Dozens more genetic studies are set to report findings later this year. For example, Pfizer is partnering with NIH on a $26 million initiative called the Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN). GAIN aims to determine the genetic causes of common diseases over the next three years. The information derived from GAIN will be publicly available to researchers world-wide. Unlike many previous gene-disease studies that yielded spurious results, the new studies involve thousands of patients and are likely to hold up.

We actually just posted a video version of this on our web site, at http://www.insidermedicine.ca/Archives/Genetic_variation_links_prostate_and_colon_cancer_1330.aspx I would also agree with your comments regarding the high quality of medical research currently being performed in Ontario.
