Environmental health and genomics: visions and implications.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Nov 2000

Olden K, Wilson S

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between genes and the environment can be compared to a loaded gun and its trigger. A loaded gun by itself causes no harm; it is only when the trigger is pulled that the potential for harm is released. Genetic susceptibility creates an analogous situation, where the loaded gun is one or a combination of susceptibility genes (alleles) and the trigger is an environmental exposure. The key objective...
