[...] My thinking on this might be a little counterintuitive. At this point in time, our understanding of the impact specific genes have on our overall health is somewhat limited. We know that certain genes increase our risk of cancer, like BRCA or HNPCC, and that other genes might affect how we metabolize certain drugs. But beyond that, the majority of our DNA sequence doesn’t really tell us much yet. So I figure knowing our genomic sequence isn’t worth much now and prices (if it weren’t limited by technology) would be depressed. [...]

I am taking vitamins supplements for years. But I really do not know whether they help or make it worse. Gene Snp can now tell me what I really need.
