Genetic alteration preceding any chronic diseases: using Human Genomic Project

Abstract

Abstract: Since the human genomic project had been completed in 2003, scarce research studies have been done to evaluate the clinical relevance of this project to public health, specifically in the arena of prevention of chronic diseases. Utilizing the structural equation model, with a random sample from National Lung Screening Data. Using SAS software and Proc CALIS for the analysis to assess whether there is a genetic alteration/expression transpires prior to any chronic disease. And to encourage more research studies in this rookie field that merges both public health and prevention of chronic diseases with the human genome. The results of all three proposed models boost the alternative theory, which indicates there is gene alteration/expression anterior to any chronic disease. Therefore, the results stimulate the use of the human genome project in the area of public health in a way that can curtail many dangerous chronic diseases before they hit.
