"The applications of nutritional genomics are multiple. With personalized assessment some disorders (diabetes, metabolic syndrome) can be identified. Nutrigenomics can help with personalized health and nutrition intake by assessing individuals and make specific nutritional requirements." The focus is in the prevention and the correction of specific genetic disorders. Examples of genetic related disorders that improve with nutritional correction are obesity, Coronary Heart Disease, Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus type 1. Genetic disorders that can often be prevented by proper nutritional intake of parents include Spina Bifida, Alcoholism and PWS.

Proper nutrient intake of the partental generation greatly affect their offspring's chance at a health life like in Spina Bifida,

Nutritional genomics often looks at people with genetic disorders and the nutritional requirement for those individuals as they mature. Rarely does nutrition ever fix the disorder but is used in the prevention of such. An example of

Genes tied to nutrition manifest themselves through the body's sensitivity to food. In studies about Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), there is a relationship between the disease and the presence of 2 alleles found at E and B apolipoprotein loci (1). These loci differences result in individualized reactions to the consumption of lipids. Some people experience increased weight gain and greater risk of CHD whereas others with different loci do not. More research is needed but
