Why each people has different disease risk?

Until now, researchers still study why one person have different speed of aging or why someone can having a heart disease or cancer but not with other person. It seem that this not only about their lifestyle.

Recent studies in England found new fact and confirmed that telomeres or DNA part that found in the end of chromosome (it duty to protect the chromosome) is the cause of that condition.

After doing studies in eight countries, studying DNA and telomeres from 48,000 people, researcher has succeed identification the seven genetic variant which are involved with telomeres length. Then they tested again the telomeres to make sure that this variants can increased someone risk for get certain diseases.

The result is that there were a connection between this genetic variant to the health disorder, such as multiple sclerosis, celiac disease and some of cancer, including colon cancer. And the most shocking is that they found the connection between this genetic variant with coronary artery disease.

"This finding is very please. Before of this study, we have proved that short telomeres length can be connected with the risk of coronary artery disease, although we not sure that this connection causal or not. Eventually, this study proved that aging has important part for causing coronary artery disease" Chief of research team, Nilesh Samani, M.D. Professor of Cardiology from University of Leicester, England.

"with other word that this study gave new perspective about disease and at least it can be the reason why some patients got it more early that other patients."

Researchers hoped that what they found and have been published in Journal Nature Genetics can pushing other studies related to getting health benefit by manipulating the telemores length. Who know that someday a team of doctors can modificated telomeres to slowing or preventing the body transformation because of aging process.

Richard Cawthon, M.D., Ph.D. which is learning an aging process from university of Utah, U.S. He assume that this study can made people realize how important the aging process.
