Whole genome sequencing in support of wellness and health maintenance
Patel CJ, Sivadas A, Tabassum R, Preeprem T, Zhao J, Arafat D, Chen R, Morgan AA, Martin GS, Brigham KL, Butte AJ, Gibson G. Whole genome sequencing is poised to revolutionize personalized medicine, providing the capacity to classify individuals into risk categories for a wide range of diseases. Here we begin to explore how whole genome sequencing (WGS) might be incorporated alongside traditional clinical evaluation as a part of preventive medicine. The present study illustrates novel approaches for integrating genotypic and clinical information for assessment of generalized health risks and to assist individuals in the promotion of wellness and maintenance of good health.
