摘要: Access to one’s own complete genome was unheard of just a few years ago. At present we have smattering identifiable human genomes, but the coming months and will undoubtedly bring thousands more. What this mean for practice medicine in US? No one knows, given remarkable drop cost DNA sequencing over last years, it seems safe bet that within next decade, primary care physicians order patients’ whole sequences with no more fanfare than they would blood count. But challenges transforming easily accessible information into savings better health outcomes be daunting. Obviously, lack interpretive abilities phenotypic commensurate our skill amassing sequences. Worse, exacerbated these problems by failing embrace increasing ubiquity genomic information, populace’s interest it, its relevance virtually every medical specialty. The success personal genomics require profound cultural shift entity stake health.
