In recent years, there has been an increased focus on health. As genome research continues, new studies could change the course of medical history. Nearly twenty United States war veterans commit suicide daily. This means that fifteen percent of the total cases of suicide in the United States are our veterans. This extremely high and …
Pharmacogenetics is the study of how people respond to drug therapy. Through research and multiple studies, it has been confirmed that individuals often respond differently to the same drug therapy. This is typically due to one’s genetic makeup, but overall health, diet, and environmental factors also play a significant role in how a person responds …
Health is greatly influenced by one’s genetics. Nearly every cell in the body carries an entire genome full of variations as the template for the development of its protein machinery. Therefore, it can be said that genetic variations impact all cellular, biochemical, physiological, and morphological aspects of a human being. For this reason, the majority …
Genetic susceptibility refers to a person’s increased chance of developing a particular disease based on their genetic makeup.Inherited genetic variation has been studied for over 100 years. Geneticists examine how different genes can increase a person’s risk of developing certain diseases. Genetic susceptibility studies have been done in two ways with different points of focus. …
Genetic testing has finally become cheap and easy. To get your entire genome tested using your saliva, some companies charge between $59 and $99 at this time.
