nutritional epigenetics
Affect of carrier frequency on population health
determines whether or not you screen for given disease
SNP-related, define:
necessary
sufficient
SNPs
necessary: biochemical and phsiological confirmation that SNP is required
sufficient: itself is necessary to cause phenotype
Effects of ancestory on nutrition
some populations may be better at utilizing some nutrients
