Obesity: From genotype to phenotype

This talk will focus on our current understanding of genetic syndromes and specific genetic variations with regards to the cardio-metabolic syndrome (SNIPS) and obesity. Dr Hudson will explore epigenetics and polymorphisms and genetic expression. 

He will look at specific case studies and discuss the tests that can be done to spot genetic changes clinically. If we start manipulating these genetic changes how we see outcomes. To fit into your jeans we must expose and explore your individual genes. This modern  focus makes medicine very individualised, very precise, very specific and yet very cost effective with more successful outcomes than with the traditional approach to weight management. It also gives patients a better understanding of their condition and frees them from the depressive trap of self-blame.
