“Genes load the gun and the environment pulls the trigger” Anonymous >99. 9% of modern human evolution <0. 1% of modern human evolution (>1000 s of generations) (~5 generations)
How have evolutionary pressures influenced the adaptation of the human genome and how does this affect disease risk? Genotypes that maximise immunity, fertility & earlylife survival in a physically demanding environment will have been selected for Adipose tissue is integral to fertility and immunity and, because it is highly energetic, was advantagous in early life Logical that our genome is enriched with genes that protect against leanness, promote fatness, and requires energetic stress to function properly
Global prevalence of type 2 diabetes in selected populations Adapted from: King & Rewers (Diab Care, 1993)
Type 2 diabetes incidence in Pimas born to women with varying levels of gestational glucose tolerance Mothers’ gestational 2 hr glucose levels Franks PW, et al. (Diabetes. 2006)

Replication of the TCF 7 L 2 genotype association with type 2 diabetes in the Diabetes Prevention Program • • • Individuals at high risk of diabetes (IGT and overweight/obese) Randomized to placebo, metformin or lifestyle intervention (or troglitazone) Followed for 3. 2 years – longitudinal analysis 68% women, 32% men ~3400 subjects genotyped Hispanic American 508 (16%) Asian/Pacific Islander 142 (4%) American Indian 171 (5%) African American 645 (20%) European American 1768 (55%) Knowler et al. NEJM, 2002 • Max weight loss was at 1 year into the trial
A gene-lifestyle interaction occurs when the effect of a lifestyle exposure on a disease trait differs in magnitude between genetic subgroups Disease trait Genotype Physical activity level

Selecting candidate genes for interactions A candidate gene for interaction should: 1. encode a protein necessary for the development of the disease phenotype (or regulate other such genes or proteins) 2. be characterized by functional variation within its nucleotide sequence 3. be induced or repressed when exposed to the lifestyle factor N. B. : the “interaction” between genes and lifestyle factors that are not on the same causal pathway is highly improbable (additive effects predicted)

Summary Bona fide GEIs: • are informative of the molecular mechanisms of disease • help refine the search for ‘risk’ genes • enable subgroups of the population that are susceptible to disease in specific environments to be identified • may help define why some respond well to exercise intervention and others respond poorly
What might the future hold? • Genome-guided treatment ? (see: Roth SM, J Appl Physiol, 2008; Hunter DJ, NEJM, 2008) • Increased treatment effectiveness? • Fewer unnecessary side-effects? • Improved patient adherence? Now is the time to initiate translational research
