Question

If we use genomics to prevent illness are we also preventing natural variation in the population? If yes, then what are potential complications?

Answer 1

With genetics and genomic being an emerging field and advancing in all aspects. they have been widely used for treating the disease as well as now for preventing illness related to physical health and mental well being. It has to be used to promote health, prevent illness and manage disease but with this innovation, it should also be creating awareness and a sense of responsibility

it has its own brownie points by saving people with heredity problems to check and be safe to avoid the disease and its consequences.

use of the genomic strategy for curing disease has encouraged the use of better methods for disease diagnosis but they are possible in underdeveloped regions or endemic regions.

and with genome sequencing for personalized medicines and drugs have also made it cost a bombshell and can only be afforded by big pockets.
