Nutritional genomics is a science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health.It can be divided into two disciplines: Nutrigenetics: studies the effect of genetic variations on the interaction between diet and health with implications to susceptible subgroups. 2  More specifically, nutrigenomics studies how individual differences in genes influence the body's response to diet and nutrition.
Meralgia paresthetica is a condition that causes numbness, pain, or a burning feeling in your outer thigh. You might also hear it called Bernhardt-Roth syndrome. It happens when thereâs too much pressure on or damage to one of the nerves in your leg. In most cases, there are simple ways to treat the condition, such as wearing looser clothing.
Other possible causes of thigh numbness include problems with nerves that connect to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. For example, nerves in the lower back connect to the nerves of the thigh, so disc disease that compresses nerves in the lower back may cause numbness in the thigh. It's likely that your doctor can find out the cause of your numbness just by reviewing your symptoms and performing a physical examination.
