Dr. Gyula Richárd Nagy, a clinical geneticist and associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Semmelweis University, says that population-wide whole-genome sequencing could launch a new era of personalized preventive and predictive medicine. With this tool, anyone can receive their “personalized guide” to identify the risk of certain diseases and their predisposition to them well before symptoms appear and thus explore personalized prevention options. In his view, all of this is not even a distant future, even though it is a relatively new field of science.
