This document summarizes a presentation given by Professor Ian Day about the potential for genetics to enable personalized healthcare. It discusses what is contained in the human genome, including genes, proteins, and variations. It provides examples of how genetic testing can help with diagnosis, disease risk prediction, and drug dosing. While full genome sequencing is currently expensive, the goal is to reduce the cost to $1,000 or less in the next 5 years. Understanding the genome could help tailor medical care to an individual's genetic profile.
