As long as we know our genes, we need have no worries about our health. A truly modern sensation is the science of epigenetics, a recognition of the fact that, alongside the normal DNA sequence, our genes also change with age.
It is an outcome of the way we lead our lives, i.e. our lifestyle affects the state of a gene. This is what we mean by epigenetics. And we have now reached a situation where we are able to cure complex diseases, because we can develop drugs based on the state of the gene. This is made possible by so-called epigenetic analyses.
