BIOL 331 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Tamoxifen, Personalized Medicine, 23Andme
Document Summary
Personalized medicine + future of genomics: means exactly the same things: using geneic markers/genotypes to predict something about the phenotype, using. 23andme, using genotype-speciic probes: interview w/ carlo arieri. Counsyl works w/ regulators to validate the quality of their tests and new technologies, in terms of spec and sens. Illegal to provide healthcare info directly to consumers. Therefore, they don"t directly give you health informaion. Results won"t necessarily make a diference to your lifestyle (eg. 20% change increase etchow important is that?) Not too sure what"s going to happen with the future of their tech. Lots of variants with signiicant associaions, but their ability to come up with precise predicions is limited: the promise. Everyone"s genome is sequences, all the variants out there are completely understood. All variants can be linked together through epistasis. Can predict every single phenotype w/ great accuracy. Beneicial for prognosis and preventaive measures for avoiding disease development.
