Abstract:
New molecular-genetic methods stimulate substantial advances in complex diseases studies, speed up identification of new candidate genes participating in functional genetic modules (gene nets) associated with many common diseases. Decisive impact of predictive genetic studies in efficient implementation of genomic technology advances into presymptomatic identification of the subjects of high risk groups prone to various common complex diseases is reviewed. Substantial progress of genomic studies in genetic of aging processes, including complex metabolic processes and gene regulation is outlined. Advances of predictive medicine in pharmacogenomic, nutrigenomic, sport genomic as well as in genomic of aging substantiate real and soon progress in promotion active healthy longevity.
