Explain the causes and pre-disposing factors of your chosen disease. Explain how the disease is diagnosed. Describe common signs and symptoms of the diseas

The completion of the Human Genome Project allowed deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing information to be shared with the world; since that time the field of nutritional genomics has exploded. The importance of dietary choices on our health is becoming more apparent and identifying the relationship between genetics and nutrition is crucial to improving human health. The applications of nutrigenomics have begun to inform the use of dietary interventions and management strategies to impact disease states. This assignment will allow you to connect the field of nutrition with genetics and learn about a disease or disorder and how diet can affect the condition.

Select a diet-related disease to research and clearly identify the disease/disorder and how it relates to nutritional genomics. Write a 750- to 1000-word paper that includes the following:

1. Explain the causes and pre-disposing factors of your chosen disease.
2. Explain how the disease is diagnosed.
3. Describe common signs and symptoms of the disease.
4. Explain current treatments of the disease and describe the disease progression.
5. Research and describe the concept of nutritional genomics and the impact that diet has on the disease.
