| Research Abstract |
Most studies to find genes susceptible for life-style related diseases have been conducted without regard for life-style per se. This strategy conveys a risk that the results obtained were not useful in ordinary clinical settings. Therefore, we search genes susceptible for life-style related diseases with detailed information of life-styles such as nutritional intakes and physical activities, and found several genes susceptible for life-style related diseases. Of them, tow genes (GNB3 and FTO) were found as associated with diabetes in relation with salt intake and obesity in relation with physical activities, respectively. These findings seem to be very useful in ordinary clinical settings.
