My business is healthcare, my business is also risk prediction, but what my business is most is disease prevention......My profession is physician, my oath is to do no harm and if I must harm, do so healing or palliating suffering....A noble profession to be sure.But no one, I repeat no physician is leading the charge to do whole genome scans for risk prognostication.Maybe for certain disease detection, but not for true risk prediction. But, guess what? The business people are...... The business side of Genomics is a...

The researchers used lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from blood from 180 healthy individuals. They studied 60 nuclear families, including mother, father and child. Thirty of the families were Caucasians from Utah and 30 were Yorubans from Ibadan, Nigeria. Mainly focusing on cancer treatments, the researcher sought to understand why different populations experienced different degrees of toxicity when taking certain drugs...

What blew me away was this quote......after a misleading commercial where you think that a simple report, delivered in your email, describing your genome will alter your life......"Now is the time when people should be getting this information(their genome). The Science is there, The Information is there....and Now Navigenics is there"Even more disturbing is the fact that...
