SickKids Cardiac Precision Medicine Program of the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research

The Cardiac Precision Medicine Program is a unique, translational program that seeks to unravel the unique genome of every child with heart disease in an effort to deliver precision and timely care, prevent complications, and improve outcomes. At the heart of this program is our Ontario province-wide biobank registry with over 10,000 children and adult participants with heart disease contributing invaluable data and samples to drive precision medicine forward.
