Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a great example of this fact. Yesterday we discussed ADMA increasing with age and how it can cause arterial disease. The gene that makes the enzyme leading to ADMA production is absolutely essential in the fetus. If it is not present, the fetus dies within a few days. ADMA plays a
Hi, Bill. I’ve been meaning to ask you to address human gene mapping and its relationship to predicting diseases, particularly heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. I know there is a lot of work going on in Estonia and I believe Norway, as well as in England, on the use of human genome study for prediction of disease, even in those illnesses that may involve many, many genes, and thus complicate the effort. Your thoughts? Could be an area for you to tackle next.
