The conclusion of a research team of the American hospital network Mount Sinai is that findings about the human genome of the past 25 years, colloquially known as the genetic make-up, can have a positive influence on the health of each individual and the whole of humanity on earth. Among other things, the genome is the totality of the material carriers of the hereditary information of a cell. The potential that lies dormant in genome medicine is therefore enormous and scientists expect the latest findings to be implemented in the coming decade. What is already known is that certain genes have a decisive influence on specific disease patterns. The researchers‘ review, therefore, provides an overview of specific genes that are associated with certain diseases. In the future, these findings will influence personalized and individual medical measures and the health of people worldwide. The genetics of the individual and knowledge about them also leads to the discovery and identification of diseases using large biological databases. Industry and science should then cooperate to develop new methods. The systematics of genes and gene variants and their research leads to the linking of certain disease patterns in order to obtain improved strategies for implementing basic knowledge. This, in turn, will decisively advance and positively influence treatment and prevention options in the fight against certain diseases such as cancer, according to the current study situation of the Mount Sinai team of scientists.
