Die Entwicklung der fachlichen und gesellschaftlichen Diskussionen um diese Probleme lasst sich von den kulturellen Pragungen und historischen Entwicklungen des jeweiligen Landes nicht trennen.
Schöne neue Welt der Prävention? Zu Voraussetzungen und Reichweite von Public Health Genetics
Recent developments in molecular genetics and genomics have not only provided new insights into the biological foundation of life but have also brought about significant changes in the ways health and disease are understood. Nowadays, understanding how the human genome interacts with health-related behaviour and diverse environments is recognised to be the key for biomedical innovation. Even though advances in genetics and genomics have unveiled a whole new complexity of the genetic underpinnings of health and disease and clearly show the need for further investigation, studies of health-related genetic traits already give rise to novel approaches to prevention. As a relatively new field Pu…
