Abstract

The progression of many prevalent non-infectious diseases is associated with a complex interaction of many factors (including environmental factors and the internal body factors) at various levels, including genetic one. In neurology, this deals with all neurodegenerative diseases, the etiology and pathogenesis of which remain not fully understood - Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other degenerative pathology. Moreover, that is true for cerebrovascular, demyelinating and other non-infectious diseases of the nervous system. In «gene-environment» studies, the focus is put on risk factors identification that cannot be detected using conventional epidemiological methods, as a rule, excluding accurate prognostications. Specific risk factors can only be identified after a detailed analysis of the interactions between all the components. For the moment, promising results have been obtained in a number of cohort studies, but they are not still enough to develop accurate personalized preventive medicine. Large-scale long-term studies are required to find useful practical provement for the development of preventive medicine.
