Genomic sequencing is available to and being utilized by physicians and their patients in both research and clinical settings. Instead of using genomic technology in the hopes of identifying a cause for a specific condition, genomic sequencing in healthy individuals would follow a model of “predispositional” genomic testing. This model envisions results being returned in a … Continued
