And forget about the e-bay implications, I only want to use those data for personal purposes. Anyway, thanks for the mention!Berci Meskóhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18210967075764589134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173393362223742012.post-34292916900726117942007-09-16T15:08:00.000-07:002007-09-16T15:08:00.000-07:00I don't disagree that there is and will be a &...I don't disagree that there is and will be a "gap phase" but the assertion that "overselling genomics could ruin the promise of personalized medicine" is ludicrous! The technology is going wherever it can no matter what - the more "wild west" the approach, the more tracks get followed, then darwinism (and capitalism) takes over and the worst ideas die off anyway. Otherwise, why don't we still have people with red flags walking in front of our cars? Where is the grand thinking that took the US to the moon nearly 40 years ago? "Nanny-state" thinking and unnecessary caution is this country's worst enemy.Herculeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15840335703690257205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173393362223742012.post-87036564465281028972007-09-16T17:41:00.000-07:002007-09-16T17:41:00.000-07:00I would love to have my genome sequenced.

But I want to know what mutations or SNP variations I have that could put me at an increased risk for adult onset disorders. How can I go about contacting a lab to have my genome sequenced? Can I voluntary volunteer a tissue sample to have it sequenced and have it returned back to me on DVD’s?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173393362223742012.post-20241546932063739912007-09-17T07:06:00.000-07:002007-09-17T07:06:00.000-07:00Ahh yes,the 'ol Which SNPs put me at risk ques...Ahh yes,<br>the 'ol Which SNPs put me at risk question. The question really is "How much risk, is risk?" How about a dad with diabetes? Much more risk than TCF7L2 snps..... I would love that genome analysis too. But guess what? The scientific data isn't there to make these analyses yet.<br>-SteveSteve Murphy MDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11774190000307343476noreply@blogger.com
