Our genes |
|||
| Genetic factors play an important role in this phenomenon. The
genes underlying genetic predisposition can be revealed and exploited to both create
personalized weight management programs based on a patient's genetic profile and to develop
new obesity drugs. It has been demonstrated that 23% of obesity-related diabetes can be
avoided with a weight management program tailored to the genetic make up of the individuals.
(Lindi et al, 2002. Diabetes, 51:2581-2586).

|||
| Some people have an increased risk of obesity when exposed to an unfavorable life style and
our genetic make-up plays a crucial role in the development of the disease
(Handbook of Obesity, Bray, G.A.). Body weight is the result of genes, metabolism, behavior,
environment, culture, and socioeconomic status ( U.S. Surgeon General, 2001).

Knowing your risk of developing a disease early can give you the opportunity to do something about it right away. | ||
| GeneOb
will be working with individuals and the medical community to help people manage their
weight by assessing their genetic predisposition and developing tailored diet and exercize
programs. This technology is accessible and is the very first step into the treatment of
obesity.
