Abstract

Molecular epidemiology represents an association between molecular biology and traditional epidemiologic research. Molecular epidemiology focuses on genetic and environmental risk factors at the molecular level that influences etiology and distribution of diseases oriented to early diagnosis and treatment. Since 1993 Mexico has been participating at the International Molecular Epidemiology Task Force (IMETAF) supported by the World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization. Mexico was the first country in Latin American that established projects in molecular epidemiology. Presentations in the Symposium Projection of molecular epidemiology in medicine, expressed the future potential of genetic knowledge in identification of genes that contribute to susceptibility or resistance to diseases.

摘要

分子流行病学代表了分子生物学与传统流行病学研究之间的一种关联。分子流行病学聚焦于分子水平上的遗传和环境风险因素，这些因素影响着疾病的病因和分布，旨在实现早期诊断和治疗。自1993年以来，墨西哥一直在参与由世界卫生组织和泛美卫生组织支持的国际分子流行病学特别工作组（IMETAF）。墨西哥是拉丁美洲第一个开展分子流行病学项目的国家。在医学分子流行病学研讨会展望中所做的报告，阐述了基因知识在识别导致疾病易感性或抗性的基因方面的未来潜力。
