scientists Kurchatov Institute the first fully decoded the genome of the Russian. "Read on their own, in just six months, spending much less money than needed to create a genetic portrait of Americans, Europeans and Africans, "-" Vesti ". " at the Kurchatov Institute is made tremendous breakthrough, we were among the countries that are able to decipher the complete human genome - the director of the Russian Research Center Kurchatov Institute, Corresponding Member Academy of Sciences Mikhail Kovalchuk. - So, you know what you're predisposed to what diseases and risks can you expect, and not only you but also the generation that will go for you. And it means creating opportunities for fundamentally new personalized medicine.
genome - is actually a pony, showing, from which made man. It is hidden in the DNA molecules. 99,9% of the genome in people - the same, but that the remaining one tenth of one percent responsible for the fact that every person - is unique. It defines the appearance of man, his mental features - whether it is a brilliant, curious, aggressive, and here are sometimes hidden and predisposition to terrible diseases.
genetic peculiarities of the Russian people have yet to examine in detail, but some conclusions can say right now - No problems with alcohol in it was not originally laid.
"We are exactly the same as Europeans, in fact - says the study leader genome project "Kurchatov intsituta" Academician Konstantin Skryabin. - Because what they say about Russian - that's not true. But then when we move to Asia - there is certainly a different way. And now we understand why. There are medications that are used in cardiac diseases. It acts on Africans and has no effect on whites. Or the Icelanders and the inhabitants of the Russian North are more resistant to contracting AIDS because they have one or two point mutations ".
Now scientists know how to find these mutations as "read" them. It means that people can be warned about the threat of cancer, Alzheimer's and many other diseases for many years if not decades, before the start of their development.
"If we received information that there is a predisposition to some kind of cancer, we can, we restrict ourselves to smoking, do not go to a hazardous industry - explains researcher at the laboratory of genomic analysis Natalia Gruzdeva. - So Thus, we will no longer be in a situation where we both hit on the head with an ax: hello, you have such a disease ".
Moreover, the ability to decode genes as experts believe, sooner or later will change them and totally eliminate the threat of disease. Some scholars say: "People - machines that perform orders of their genome. But we can stop this outrage - to arrange Rise of the Machines ".
human genome deciphered already in 8 countries and some sound concerns, and whether all ethical issues can be resolved? Not whether there will be classifying people into those who have the genes of all in order and those who - not so? In the U.S., for example, has already passed a law prohibiting insurance companies to discredit the patients on genetic indications.
