Should you get sequenced? Not all bad genes predict disease

Rahul Agarwal — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:10:53 -0500

“What we really don’t know yet is whether the predictive aspects of the genome are going to turn out to be beneficial or potentially harmful”

“As we roll out genomic medicine we are fighting against this society-wide misconception that having the bad gene means you’re going to get the disease. That’s only true in a very few cases.”
