Canadian participation for tomorrow project is a trendsetter for other nations to follow for public benefit, health concern, and community development. The study aimed at analysis of gene-environment interaction is an approach not only in preparing the nation to protect its citizens but also creating an awareness among the citizens that their health plays a very important role in Nation building and its economy. Factors like ethnicity and geographical location along with lifestyle do play a role in health and disease.
It will be interesting to note which biomarkers influence health and disease at a genetic level and how genomics may determine health policy of a nation. It is a project that promotes health not prevention of disease. That will be an optimistic view of medicine working for the welfare of the patients.Competing Interests: None declared.
