Genomic and Epigenetic Markers
Inherited DNA variants that influence biological pathways, disease risk, and aging
|
|
| Genomic biomarkers represent stable, lifelong inherited DNA variants that influence metabolic function, disease susceptibility, responses to medications, and long-term health trajectories. Although these markers remain genetically unchanged across the lifespan, they shape how environmental exposures, dietary patterns, and lifestyle behaviors interact with biological systems. Through these gene–environment interactions, genomic variation contributes to interindividual differences in physiological resilience, disease vulnerability, and long-term health outcomes. | |
|
Guidelines for Reporting Genomic Biomarkers: 1. For each genomic biomarker listed below, indicate whether prior genetic testing has identified the specified variant by entering “Yes”or“No” in the space provided after the colon (:). 2. If yes, specify the gene name, variant, genomic locus (if available), genotype and zigocity, reference allele and risk allele (if stated), and Clinical classification (if provided by the testng laboratory)] 3. Do not reinterpret, summarize, or infer clinical significance beyond what is explicitly reported in the original laboratory documentation. |
