Abstract

Nutrigenomics is a borderline discipline; it's a branch of ecogenomics which deals with genetic factors that influence the biological response to diet and its influence on the expression on genes. This interaction has lead to a new scientific field leading to the interaction of genetic variation which the role of genetics with nutritional requirements have to lead to reducing susceptibility to chronic diseases.
