gene-environment interaction
Definición
- In the field of epidemiology, there has been increasing interest in documenting the results of interaction between specific genes or genotypes and well-understood environmental exposures. Gene-environment interactions are situations in which the combination of an environmental factor, such as exposure to cigarette smoking, with a genetic factor, such as a disease-predisposing mutation, results in a greater risk or severity of the disease in question than either the genetic or environmental factor acting alone.
