What Are Some Applications of Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology?
These fields have numerous applications, including:
Risk Prediction: Identifying genetic markers that predict disease risk, enabling early intervention. Pharmacogenomics: Studying how genetic variation affects individual responses to drugs to tailor personalized treatments. Public Health: Informing public health strategies by understanding the genetic and molecular basis of infectious diseases. Cancer Research: Identifying genetic mutations and molecular pathways involved in cancer development and progression. Chronic Disease Management: Unveiling genetic predispositions to conditions like diabetes and heart disease to improve management strategies.
