International Genetic Epidemiology Society  

Definición

  • The International Genetic Epidemiology Society (IGES) studies the basis for disease, giving significant weight to both genetic factors and the influence of the environment on genetic predispositions toward disease. Society members believe the recently successful mapping of the human genome—the complete set of human genes—will propel research forward in a way that blends together theories of disease as nature (genetics) and disease as nurture (environment) into a cohesive and useful whole.
