Heidi L. Rehm is affiliated with Brigham and Women's Hospital in the United States. Their research focuses extensively on the fields of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a prolific output of 504 publications. Within these broader areas, their work primarily emphasizes genetics, molecular biology, cancer research, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, as well as pathology and forensic medicine.

The scientist has contributed notably to topics including genomics and rare diseases, genomic variations and chromosomal abnormalities, cancer genomics and diagnostics, genetic associations and epidemiology, BRCA gene mutations in cancer, genetic factors in colorectal cancer, and genomics and phylogenetic studies.

Recent publications demonstrate their engagement with diverse aspects of human genetics and genomics. These include:

  • A brief history of human disease genetics (2020, Nature)
  • Genomic data in the All of Us Research Program (2024, Nature)
  • Calibration of computational tools for missense variant pathogenicity classification and ClinGen recommendations for PP3/BP4 criteria (2022, The American Journal of Human Genetics)
  • A genome-wide mutational constraint map quantified from variation in 76,156 human genomes (2022, bioRxiv [Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory])
  • Systematic single-variant and gene-based association testing of thousands of phenotypes in 394,841 UK Biobank exomes (2022, Cell Genomics)

The scientist frequently collaborates with a number of coauthors, who have contributed to multiple works together. These notable collaborators include Anne O'Donnell-Luria, Christina Austin-Tse, Daniel G. MacArthur, Jonathan S. Berg, and Steven M. Harrison.
