摘要: The field of molecular epidemiology is very promising, as sophisticated techniques are being developed to address etiology, genetic susceptibility and mechanisms for induction disease. use biomarkers plays a key role in these investigations because the information can be used predict development disease implement prevention programs. However, emphasized by Frederica P. Perera, strewn with studies either that failed validated or whose designs did not adequately consider biology endpoints, availability health risk still limited. In this review, we have briefly described usefulness certain documentation exposure early biological effects, special concern prediction cancer. An emphasis placed on understanding significance biomarkers. By building reliable biomarker databases, promising future integration from genome programs expand scientific frontiers environmental
