Since its establishment in 1996, deCODE has been at the forefront of analyzing and unraveling the complexities of the human genome. With their unique expertise and access to population resources, they have made groundbreaking discoveries in identifying key genetic risk factors for numerous common diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Known for operating the most productive human gene discovery engine in the world, deCODE utilizes their unparalleled capabilities to identify genetic variations associated with human diseases.

These findings are regularly published in major, peer-reviewed journals, allowing other researchers to validate and expand upon deCODE's discoveries. Recently, deCODE scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the National University Hospital of Iceland, published a study on a cardiac electrical abnormality that could potentially lead to sudden cardiac death. These advancements in knowledge have the potential to improve the identification and risk stratification of heart disorders.
