What Role Do Genetics Play in Icelandic Epidemiology?
Iceland is at the forefront of genetic research, thanks to the work of deCODE Genetics. The country's homogeneous population makes it easier to identify genetic markers linked to various diseases. This research has significant implications for personalized medicine and the understanding of the genetic basis of diseases. Epidemiologists can leverage this genetic data to study the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors.
