Genes Show Limited Value in Predicting Diseases (for week 12-17th)

This week I read an article on certain Diseases from the New York Times by Nicholas Wade.
I found this article to be quite interesting because it had to deal with diseases and theories that people thought about genetics and how diseases were spread throughout families. The era of personal genomic medicine may have to wait. The genetic analysis of common disease is turning out to be a lot more complex than expected. In 2003, the genome method was decoded. Since then researchers have been developing a powerful method for comparing the genomes of patients and healthy people verses the hope of pinpointing the DNA changes responsible for common diseases. Another article that was linked to this one was about more medicines that may help with these diseases that may occur in your family. Not only does that website give medicine reports, it gives information about calories, cool ways to lose weight the healthy way, info about digital health data and much more. I found alot of information on this website that could be very helpful if this was a situation with one or in ones family.
I consider this to be relevant because I can tie in health with government by the national standards of the US Nutrition goal. To look more into that, that would be another episode.
