TecSalud, del Tec de Monterrey, en colaboraci\u00f3n con el Instituto Nacional de Medicina Gen\u00f3mica (INMEGEN), analizar\u00e1n durante los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os, muestras de ADN de 100 mil mexicanos, con el objetivo de encontrar respuestas a las enfermedades que m\u00e1s afectan a los mexicanos.&nbsp; \u201cLa informaci\u00f3n colectiva nos va a permitir encontrar soluciones reales a los problemas m\u00e1s importantes de salud en M\u00e9xico\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3 durante la presentaci\u00f3n, Guillermo Torre, rector de TecSalud. El prop\u00f3sito de este proyecto es generar una base de datos de informaci\u00f3n gen\u00e9tica que tenga el potencial de brindar diagn\u00f3sticos r\u00e1pidos y precisos a enfermedades. Sin embargo, se trata de un proceso largo que tan solo para la recolecci\u00f3n de datos abarcar\u00e1 desde el a\u00f1o 2021 hasta el 2025. Los 100 mil mexicanos ser\u00e1n reclutados en cuatro etapas, 5 mil en 2021-22, 15 mil en 2022-23, 30 mil en 2023-24, y 50 mil en 2024-25. De esta forma Proyecto oriGen contar\u00e1 con 5 fases: Reclutamiento: Los voluntarios deben ser mexicanos y tener al menos 18 a\u00f1os. Todos los participantes deben completar un protocolo con informaci\u00f3n general. Procesamiento de muestras: Las muestras de los voluntarios se obtendr\u00e1n de entre cinco y seis mililitros de sangre del torrente circulatorio. Posteriormente ser\u00e1n resguardadas y almacenadas en condiciones \u00f3ptimas. Secuenciaci\u00f3n del genoma: Se realizar\u00e1 en el Laboratorio de secuenciaci\u00f3n gen\u00f3mica y decodificar\u00e1 el ADN de las muestras de los voluntarios. En esta t\u00e9cnica determina la secuencia exacta de los cuatro componentes de la mol\u00e9cula de ADN: Adenina (A), Citosina (C), Guanina (G) y Timina (T)&#8221;, explica TecReview. Proceso de bioinform\u00e1tica: Se buscar\u00e1 ordenar la informaci\u00f3n obtenida de la secuenciaci\u00f3n y extraer los datos m\u00e1s relevantes. Estos datos se correlacionar\u00e1n con padecimientos y enfermedades para la generaci\u00f3n de estrategias que permitan su prevenci\u00f3n o atenci\u00f3n temprana. Nuevas estrategias de investigaci\u00f3n: El paso final es desarrollar estrategias de prevenci\u00f3n para diabetes, c\u00e1ncer e hipertensi\u00f3n. \u201cNo hay estudios de este tipo y de este tama\u00f1o en la poblaci\u00f3n latinoamericana. Los trabajos existentes son de mexicanos o latinos que se han enrolado en proyectos estadounidenses y europeos. Hay estudios disponibles y similares en el resto del mundo, pero los latinoamericanos tienen poca representaci\u00f3n, de tal forma que el contenido gen\u00e9tico y su asociaci\u00f3n con enfermedades en M\u00e9xico va a ser novedosa\u201d, coment\u00f3 Gerardo Garc\u00eda, director de Investigaci\u00f3n Traslacional de TecSalud.
