What if we study what makes people resilient instead of what makes them sick?

Salutogenomics: embracing the full spectrum of human health: Trends in Genetics
Salutogenomics: embracing the full spectrum of human health: Trends in Genetics
Modern biomedical genomics has principally centered on disease, leveraging genomic insights to identify disease-associated genotypes. While valuable, this approach is overly reliant on a positivist, disease-centric perspective that often goes hand-in-hand with patterns like deficit framing, racialized medical stereotyping, and genetic determinism. These practices and their underlying beliefs are detrimental for patients, who experience worse health outcomes as a result, and for participant communities, who endure associated stigmas. This commentary seeks to examine the consequences of this narrow lens and to describe the benefits of an alternative approach: salutogenomics, which highlights the full spectrum of human health. Additionally, we explore how adopting diverse knowledge production paradigms could refashion Western genomic methodologies.

The main function of BAT is to dissipate energy in the form of heat, a property driven by the presence of the mitochondrial protein UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1) that uncouples mitochondrial respiration. BAT is also densely innervated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and is highly vascularized [1]. The thermogenic capacity of BAT may be important for heat production in newborns, essential for rodents and hibernating mammals, and possibly helps burn excess dietary energy consumption.
