While we cannot change our genetic make-up, we can influence our genetic expression through personalized nutrition.
Fuller Torrey et al illustrates convincingly that these types of illness are rooted in the genetic make-up.
He said the differences from one population to another "cannot be accounted for either by genetic make-up or environmental influences".
He said brain scanning techniques and medication had advanced, and treatments based on a patient's genetic make-up were being tested.
The Center of Excellence in Nutritional Genomics at the University of California, Davis is mapping nutritional interventions by genetic make-up.
The technique is based on classifying patients by the genetic make-up of certain of their hormones that are involved in the immune response.
Studying how the parasite interacts with its insect host is difficult, he said, because the mosquito's biochemical and genetic make-up are not well defined.
They are smaller and they are remarkably alike in their genetic make-up.
But just as the genetic material of the virus dictates the next wave of infections, so our own genetic make-up can influence our susceptibility to these.
As more is understood about the meaning of the code, new drugs and therapies will emerge, and eventually treatments will be tailored to each individual's precise genetic make-up.
Working independently, these three men provided the parts that, when put together, enable the elimination of one gene at a time from the genetic make-up of a mouse.
Legislation in America is not yet federal, but insurers in 18 states cannot deny applicants coverage, cancel their policies or charge higher premiums on the grounds of genetic make-up.
Recent research by the Eating Disorders Research Unit at the Institute of Psychiatry in London found that eating disorders could be due to the physical or genetic make-up of the brain.
Dr Zalloua says in Lebanon the Phoenician signature is distributed equally among different groups and that the overall genetic make-up of the Lebanese is proving to be similar across various backgrounds.
The similarity between the genetic make-up of the fruit fly and that of human being is well-known, and scientists are hoping that this breakthrough could eventually lead to understanding of addiction to narcotics.
But he said that the reasons for humans becoming addicted to any drug were more complex than simply their genetic make-up, and that a test for any gene uncovered by further research would not necessarily work.
Third, researchers have focused on so-called gene-environment interactions, reasoning that some exposures that have relatively weak associations with breast cancer in the general population may have a much stronger effect in subgroups with a specific genetic make-up.
