Chaired by the Genetic Alliance, the virtual meeting saw representatives from Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland discuss the implementation of the UK Government’s Rare Disease Framework. We now know that 80% of rare diseases have a genetic origin. Genomic technology, therefore, has a key role to play in our work,” he said.

Nutrigenomics is the science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. In part, the success of the Human Genome Project has also paved a path for the novel concept of nutrigenomics. It is worth mentioning that more than 50 genes in a human body are associated with obesity.

Genetic testing has played a big role in enhancing the diagnosis process. For instance, the UK government’s 100K Genomes Project has achieved its goal of sequencing the genomes of 100,000 people in 2019. The upsurge in the innovation index related to rare diseases also indicates a spike in innovations.

The Human Genome Project could not have succeeded without the use of bioinformatics. Since the conclusion of the project in 2003, bioinformatics tools have been used to identify genes and elucidate their function with the aim of developing gene-based strategies for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

A few decades ago, gathering genetic data on the scale of the 100,000 Genomes Project would have been unthinkable – it was only in 2003 that the entire human genome was mapped. However, the scale goes far beyond 100,000 genomes and instead is looking to recruit five million adult volunteers. Aims for the project.
