Abstrakt: On October 27–28, 2012, the SickKids Labatt Family Heart Centre and the Heart Centre Biobank Registry hosted the second international GenomeHeart symposium in Toronto, Ontario. The symposium featured experts in cardiology, developmental biology, pharmacology, genomics, bioinformatics, stem cell biology, biobanking, and ethics. The theme of this year's symposium was the application of emerging technologies in genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and bioinformatics to diagnostics and therapeutics of the child with heart disease. Social, ethical, and economic issues were also discussed in the context of clinical translation. We highlight some of the themes that emerged from this exciting 2‐day event.
