Abstract
The Sasang constitutional medicine, a traditional Korean medical typology, was initially proposed to the oriental medical field in 1894 by the Korean Confucian scholar Jae-Ma Lee. The key principle of his theory is that all humans can be categorized into four groups (Tae-Yang, Tae-Eum, So-Yang, and So-Eum) based on the function of major organs such as the heart, liver, kidney and lungs as well as other characteristics of the body. Now there are many scientists that try to confirm the method to classify the four group using genetics. In this study, we hypothesized that some genes are may associated with Sasang constitution on the basis of the theory of Jae-Ma Lee who insist everybody can be divided from the birth and can not be changed during the life. Before the genetic research, we first suggest the genetic research model. It may be effective to carry out genetic research concerned with Sasang constitution.
