A member asked:
Can diagnosis be made by whole genome sequencing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Whole genome sequencing may be useful in making diagnosis of inherited disorders. Vast majority of the illnesses neither require this test nor will this test be diagnsostic. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
