Interplay between (poly)phenols, gut microbiota, and biological rhythms: outlook for a new paradigm in brain health.

Personalized nutrition biomarkers and dietary strategies for atherosclerosis risk management: A systematic review. Free

Table 2 shows the various studies included in this systematic review, and the types of genetics or genes/gene variants tested. A relationship between omega-3 fatty acid intake and the expression of microRNAs is reported, as well as an epigenetic relationship between dietary components and histone acetylation influencing gene expression involving inflammation and the metabolism of lipids.
Analysis of the perception of nutrigenetics in conventional nutritional practice: A survey-based study applied to dietitians from Mexico. Free

The authors conclude that although nutritional genomics may be of limited current use in Mexico, it is perceived as valuable for the future; however, closing this gap will require the integration of undergraduate training along with evidence-based professional development towards its effective use.
Epigenetic regulation through histone deacetylation: Implications and therapeutic potential in hepatocellular carcinoma. Free

Interaction of ALDH2 and ALDH1A single-nucleotide polymorphisms with alcohol consumption and impact on osteoporosis risk. Free

Alcohol consumption for more than 2 years among Taiwanese subjects who carry two copies of the rs75162023 variant of the ALDH2 gene was associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. Also, alcohol consumption among those carrying two copies of the rs146758119 variant of the ALDH1A gene was associated with an increased risk of osteopenia. However, statistical significance did not remain after correction for multiple comparisons, so the results should be interpreted with caution.
HORMAD1 Polymorphisms Influence Susceptibility to Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Through Gene-Smoking Interaction.

Integrating precision medicine and digital health in personalized weight management: The central role of nutrition. Free

This review article describes how various elements of metabolomics, microbiomics, genomics and digital health tools can and will become useful for personalized weight management, with brief mentions of gene-diet interactions and nutrigenomics.
