INSIGHT

Genome Sequencing Is Foundational

  • Whole genome sequencing captures ~100% of a person's DNA instead of ~0.1% used by common consumer tests.
  • That comprehensive dataset reveals unexpected risks and enables personalized prevention and screening plans.
ADVICE

Use Genetics To Resolve Clinical Gray Areas

  • Lean into diagnostic gray zones by adding targeted genetic tests to clarify patient risk and guide decisions.
  • Use genetic data to decide on medications, advanced testing, or lifestyle interventions for individual patients.
INSIGHT

One Test, Long-Term Health Asset

  • Whole genome tests produce massive raw data (~60 gigabytes) stored securely for future use and evolving analyses.
  • Clinics and patients can repeatedly query that single dataset as new research or clinical questions arise.
