Medicine Frontier:Tele - Med: Genetic Detectives at Work
Different genes mean different predispositions to sickness.Today, an intensive search is taking place for individual genetic differences that constitute a predisposition to various common serious diseases. Scientists hope to test healthy people individually and, in the event of a predisposition being identified, to motivate them to take preventive steps. They also hope to be able to treat the sick on a more individual basis, and to develop drugs that are geared to individual targets.
