In 2015, a group of investigators reunited with 2,748 distinguished studies analyzing 17,804 breeds in a population of more than 29 million gemelos. These exploratory investigations cause many issues such as blood pressure, humanitarian problems, the shape of the ears, social values or culinary tastes. The conclusions of the surprise window are: todos y cada uno de los 17.000 rasgos stududiados eran heredables af burgemeester o menor medida.
So, genetics has everything to do with it, especially with medical pathologies. Without embarrassment, salvo for very concrete things, mirror a sequential genome in our demented words about the mayor for problems, rasgos or enfermedades of our day and day. The motivation is simple: if genetics were an idiom, human beings would be sacrificed on the A1.
Prohibition of probes, the NHS (British health care system) is launching an experiment of “personalized medicine” in the north of England pretending to be a solution in particular is a problem.
The secrets of genetics in the service of medicine
“Through the use of genetics, we can increase the prediction of cardiovascular disease risk for therapies such as statins, as well as cambios in the style of life, you can direct the appropriate persons “, explained in the Times the professor Sir Peter Donnelly, founder and executive director of ‘Genomics’, the spinoff of the University of Oxford, which is collaborating with the NHS on the launch of the project, although there is a need to make a statement as a hypothesis to be tested.
At the end of the day, the investigators select the patients who usarán millions of genetic marketers which is crucified with all types of risk factors (the oath, the familiar antecedents, the style of life …) to produce what is called “polygenous risk score” and examiner if this type of jokes can be used to “predict” the child cardiovascular (and to adjust the treatments).
What is cardiac disease? For a potential question. Although investigators are allowed to use other types of enforcers (such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, type 2 diabetes or bipolar disorder), it is true that cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in the world. Of each 100 people that mueren has in the world, at least 27 have it, according to the OMS.
Hecho, the NHS created to introduce this genomic “cribado” (in case it works) could help identify 650,000 people between the ages of 40 and 60 with high cardiovascular risk. Of them, a 10% dropout rates in the next 10 years. It appears that if “reactive and preventive measures” are taken, these mechanisms will reduce more than 15,000 cases of illness and prevent more than 2,000 deaths in a decade.
We are experiencing a moment of technical complication of very complicated genetics in which our genetics can be converted into a very powerful herrama to care for and increase our own health. Y, a la vez, a risk that could collide with human rights and change our radical health systems. This will be one of the big debates about futuro; what is happening is that what we are doing here is happening.
