The rapid advance of genetic research is giving substance to the medical world's high hopes for the future. As the function and interactions of our 35,000 genes are analyzed and explained, genetic screening will facilitate effective disease prevention and drug treatment at every step of human development, from the embryonic stage to old age. The age of personalized medicine seems sure to arrive, with all the benefits it will bring.
基因研究進展迅速，醫界對未來的樂觀願景也越來越成形，從胚胎到老化，人生的各個階段都可以用基因篩檢來把關，並給予最有效的預防建議或藥物治療，當三萬五千個基因的運作和互動一一被破解，量身定做的個人化醫療時代必然來臨，且讓我們拭目以待！
