Abstract

Although currently there are only a limited number of genomic technologies that are applicable to health care in the developing countries, this is unlikely to be the case in the near future. If, however, the full potential of genomics for health care is to be fulfilled, there will have to be a complete change of emphasis in education and research in the richer countries toward a more global view of disease and its consequences.

摘要

虽然目前仅有有限的一些基因组技术适用于发展中国家的医疗保健，但在不久的将来情况可能并非如此。然而，如果要充分发挥基因组学在医疗保健方面的潜力，富裕国家在教育和研究方面就必须彻底转变重点，转向对疾病及其后果更具全球视野的方向。
