In 2003, the Human Genome Project
published the first complete map of the 23,000 genes in the human genome. In the decade that followed, science has
learned much about the significance of genetic variations in individuals. Gene
research has shown that genetic codes affect which drugs and what dosage will
be most effective for a patient. And in
the future, genetic tests are expected to become available to predict your risk
for many conditions. Come and explore
this new frontier in medicine.
