Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism—the way the body uses digested food for growth and energy. Most of the food people eat is broken down into glucose, the form of sugar in the blood. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body.

Researchers employ genetic testing to determine the risk of developing cardiovascular disease

Dignity Health in Arizona is introducing the first research study in North America that will use genetic testing to pinpoint men and women who are at risk of developing a cardiovascular disease based on the composition of their DNA.
