Human genome epidemiology, progress and future
Human genome epidemiology (HuGE) uses systematic applications of epidemiologic methods to assess the impact of human genetic variation on health and disease. In the past ten years, human genome epidemiology has made great progresses along with advances in genomics technologies, which make it possible for the examination of genetic variants in a large sample size at a sufficiently low cost. Gene...
متن کاملThe Human Genome Epidemiology Network.
Progress on the Human Genome Project has led to an explosion of genetic information (1). Of the estimated 100,000 human genes, more than 9,000 have been discovered, and more than 5,000 have been mapped to specific chromosomes (2). There are approximately 500 genes for which there are genetic tests used in medical practice (3). Almost daily, discoveries are announced for gene variants that affec...
متن کاملOnline genetic databases informing human genome epidemiology
BACKGROUND With the advent of high throughput genotyping technology and the information available via projects such as the human genome sequencing and the HapMap project, more and more data relevant to the study of genetics and disease risk will be produced. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of human genome epidemiology studies rely on the ability to identify relevant studies and to obtain s...
متن کاملClinical Progress Malaria Epidemiology
Recent reports of the World Health Organization have shown that malaria as an indigenous disease has disappeared from Europe and from the U.S.A., from most of the U.S.S.R., from Israel, Lebanon, large parts of India, from Singapore, Hong-Kong, Taiwan, South Africa, Australia, Chile, most of Argentina and Venezuela, most of the islands of the Caribbean, and from Mauritius. Nevertheless, the whol...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology in cancer risk assessment and prevention: recent progress and avenues for future research.
Molecular epidemiology is increasingly being applied in studies of cancer risks derived from exposure to environmental carcinogens of both endogenous and exogenous origins. Analytical methods have been developed that are capable of detecting and quantifying levels of covalent adducts of several important classes of carcinogens with cellular DNA and blood proteins. Methods of sufficient sensitiv...
