SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A GENETIC RISK FACTOR FOR A DISEASE OR PATHOLOGY

摘要

The invention relates to systems and methods for detecting nucleic acid molecule encoding GENE-X having nucleotide polymorphisms indicative of increased risk for DISEASE-X. The invention also relates to a method for identifying individuals who are carriers of the genetic risk factor or are at increased risk. The method includes obtaining a biological sample from an individual and testing the individual for the nucleotide polymorphism, wherein the disease risk may increase with the expression of ALLELE-X.
