The price of whole-genome sequencing is now within the budget of the average American consumer. This has resulted in the commercialization of genome sequencing for a variety of applications, including health-related risk assessment. Direct-to-consumer marketing of personal DNA sequence information uncouples the generation of personal health-related data from the physician-patient relationship. Here, I discuss the status of consumer genomics and the current and potential concerns about bypassing physicians in the analysis and interpretation of personal genomic information and subsequent health care decision-making.
全基因组测序的价格如今已在普通美国消费者的预算范围内。这导致了基因组测序在包括健康相关风险评估在内的各种应用中的商业化。个人DNA序列信息的直接面向消费者的营销,使个人健康相关数据的生成与医患关系脱钩。在此,我将探讨消费者基因组学的现状,以及在个人基因组信息的分析和解读以及后续医疗决策过程中绕过医生所引发的当前和潜在问题。
