What are the benefits and risks of using genome sequencing for personalized medicine and disease prevention?
Genome sequencing enables personalized medicine by analyzing an individual’s genetic makeup to tailor medical treatments, predict disease risks, and optimize drug efficacy. It offers benefits such as early disease detection, targeted therapies, and precision medicine. However, genome sequencing also raises concerns about privacy, data security, genetic discrimination, and the interpretation of genetic variants.
