  New World Syndrome
In Kosrae, an island in Micronesia, new arrivals are a curiosity, and it seemed that half the island had come to greet me and Steven Auerbach, a Manhattan-based medical epidemiologist and an officer in the U.S. Public Health Service who had worked in Micronesia in the early 1990s, when we visited last year.
The big killer in Kosrae—what some epidemiologists call New World syndrome—is a constellation of maladies brought on not by microbes or parasites but by the assault of rapid Westernization on traditional cultures.
Preliminary findings suggest that European genes inherited from New England whalers and other visitors protect Kosraeans to some degree against obesity and diabetes: the more "European" an islander, it appears, the less likely he or she is to be obese or diabetic.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) — a contagious and sometimes fatal respiratory illness — first appeared in China in November 2002.
Scientists do know that the cause is a new type of coronavirus — one of a family of viruses that in humans usually cause mild upper respiratory infections, including common colds.

 Down Syndrome, a whole new world
The most common chromosomal abnormality that produces Down syndrome (accounting for about 95 percent of all cases) is Trisomy 21, a defect in which an extra, third copy of chromosome 21 is present in every cell in the body.
Today, 44 percent of people with Down syndrome survive to age 60, and this life expectancy is slowly approaching that of people without Down syndrome.
Although people with Down syndrome have a range of learning disabilities, physicians, educators, and parents now recognize that these people's achievements may be most influenced by what is expected of them.

Not surprisingly, a whole new industry, predicated upon the fervent belief in engineering better living through genetics has developed -- an industry directed and thus legitimized in great part by the very scientists whose studies in the nature and structure of DNA made all this possible.
Thus was born the new field of genomics -- the study of information flow within cells and tissues, with primary focus upon the organization, function and evolution of our genetic endowment.
