The present study was initially thought up in order to 
validate a new method of enquiry by which genetic 
information could be used to predict disease. The study 
goes against the findings of Hill (2009); indeed it would 
appear to show the opposite of what he claimed. It 
presents a rather different view of the genetic factors 
which cause disease. Despite this, the study does not 
wipe out Hill’s, as his studies served the very important 
purpose of devising symbols to stand for certain 
tendencies, in this way facilitating further research.
