The past, present, and future of direct-to-consumer genetic tests.

Dialogues in clinical neuroscience - 1 Jan 2010

Helgason Agnar, Stefánsson Kári

Abstract excerpt

Technological advances in the field of human genetics have resulted in a wave of discoveries of common DNA sequence variants that are associated with a risk of common complex diseases, such as heart attack, that account for a substantial proportion of morbidity, mortality, and health care costs in most contemporary populations. The overall predictive power of these sequence variants can be considerable, due to...
