[...] Researchers are already talking about using this type of genetic information to create “a profile of risk for developing cardiovascular disease.” But, the ability to predict who will develop heart disease is already fairly straightforward. Family history, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle are all contributing factors. Don’t be surprised to see the GATA2 gene listed on the back of a direct-to-consumer nutrigenomic DNA test sometime soon. [...]

I’ve been blogging about genetic testing for some time. To see what’s been happening, please check http://www.geneforum.org, the Genetizen blog. Readers also have a chance to vote on their use of genetic testing.
