Finding the gene that causes serious disease

Approaching a more systematic and faster pathogenesis method, two hundred British scientists discovered these genes. Among these are genes that cause cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and depression.

This result is considered a breakthrough in medical research. The lead researcher, Professor Peter Donnelly, said that identifying these genes would lead to the creation of more effective treatments for common diseases.

Next to that is the identification of people in high risk groups. So far, bad gene identification has caused the disease to progress slowly and the data are not highly reliable. Previously looking for a gene that has a problem is like attaching a bait to a fishing rod and fishing.

With this system approach, scientists can now research and refine the entire human genome system. Scientists analyze blood samples from about 14,000 patients, about two thousand patients for a disease-causing gene.

They then compared the genes of these people with those of healthy people, volunteering to participate in scientific research.

Hopefully we will talk more about the risk of illness happening to one person or another

From this comparison and comparison, scientists have found bad genes, and which genes cause the disease.

Within a month, researchers found 15 genes that cause disease. According to Professor Peter Donnelly, leader of the research team, the discovery of new genes will help doctors develop forms of genetic testing in the future.

Hopefully we will talk more about the risk of disease happening to one person or another . The first application of this method is to use genetic information to identify a patient That, and it will be time for us to tell this patient that the genetic diagram shows that he has to go to the test regularly to see if he has any disease. Even telling him to change the way of life, how to live. For example, eat carefully, avoid this, or other dishes, to avoid getting sick from bad genes.

Genomic project proponents believe that their research will find ways to cure the most fatal diseases.

These people hope that the new gene-finding method will one day help them make the most effective way to prevent disease.
