If the missing gene GSTM1 is absent, (Glutathione s-transferase), affects liver and kidney, does this mean than supplementing with either oral or IV gluathione will not be metabolized and affect toxins? Equally, if the + SOD2 carries a genetic variation, (mitochondria), does this predispose to mitochondrial acquired disease, or dysfunction to ATP/ADP? There are several laboratories offering genomic testing, but no interpretation! From my own research, no consensus has yet been reached concerning those tests, including SNPs... Lastly, are genes affected by environmental toxins, side effects and adverse reaction to drugs, or disease? No scientific background.

I plan to pledge my life to personalized genetics as a researcher of genomics. But I always wanted to become a clinical geneticist. I have 2 years to finish medical training (I'm a 4th year student and the training here consist of 6 years). So we'll see then. :) Don't you plan to host a Gene Genie edition?

I'm new to blogging and I'm starting to get the hang of it! I love this whole area of medicine and science and I firmly believe it will play a massive role in the future but that message is underlined with lots of caveats and words of caution. Sensible introduction of new genetic and proteomic tests is the way forward ... and plenty of information and education! I went onto your website and you really are also inspired and enthused by this field of medicine. What do you plan to do when you qualify? Blog soon! Penny Dear Berci

What lovely words!

I’m new to blogging and I’m starting to get the hang of it! I love this whole area of medicine and science and I firmly believe it will play a massive role in the future but that message is underlined with lots of caveats and words of caution. Sensible introduction of new genetic and proteomic tests is the way forward … and plenty of information and education!

I went onto your website and you really are also inspired and enthused by this field of medicine. What do you plan to do when you qualify?

Blog soon!

But you've proven your knowledge and enthusiasm. I'm still watching you, Penny.
