ABSTRACT

Recently some report has been published on the classification of Sasang constitution by analysis of genetic polymorphism. In this study, to present the ideas in the study on the classification of Sasang constitution based on the genetic variation of individuals, we reviewed the previous studies dealing with relationship between genetic polymorphism and Sasang constitution and suggested new molecular biological methodologies applicable to the classification of Sasang constitution. The results were as follow; 1. In the studies on the classification of constitution by analysis of genetic polymorphism, the special genes were desirable as subjects rather than the non-functional part of genome such as inter-gene and intron. Since microsatellite is usually located in inter-gene or intron, representation of constitutions may not associated with the polymorphism of certain microsatellite. 2. It may possible that polymorphism patterns of the genes related to the expression of individuality is associated with the types of Sasang constitutions. Therefore, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) which known have some role in the determination the human performance is one of the candidate genes can use for the classification of Sasang constitutions. 3. It is well known that HLA types are very variable in human and closely associated with the determination of susceptibility for certain disease. The studies on the polymorphism of HLA types may applicable to the classification of Sasang constitutions. 4. DNA chip technique which developed recently for the analysis of the expression of human genes may powerful tools in the study of Sasang medicine.
