Our knowledge of the genetic basis for disease has increased exponentially in recent years, and we are now able to understand and treat diseases at the molecular level with personalized medicine--care based on an individual's genetic makeup. Collins presents cutting-edge science for lay readers who want to take control of their medical lives. He discusses cancer, obesity, aging, racial differences, and a host of other concerns, as well as the medical advances directly attributable to the Human Genome Project. He is also not shy about taking on large political issues: he points out problems with our current health-care system, discusses stem-cell research, and in a cogent commentary, recommends--with caveats--direct-to-consumer DNA testing. He does a superb job of humanizing a complex scientific and medical subject.--From publisher description. 505 0 $a The future has already happened -- When genes go wrong, it gets personal -- Is it time to learn your own secrets? -- Getting personal with the big C -- What's race got to do with it? -- Genes and germs -- Genes and the brain -- Genes and aging -- The right drug at the right dose for the right person -- A vision for the future. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Genetic screening $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Medical genetics. $v Popular works. 650 12 $a Genetic Diseases, Inborn. 650 22 $a Genetic Counseling. 650 22 $a Genetic Screening. 650 22 $a Genetics, Medical. 941 $a 18 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525040523.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409014309.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722023728.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044310.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926092812.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720032002.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171003034523.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418094422.0 952 $l PGAX715 $d 20170324144957.0 952 $l 8USX522 $d 20150902013758.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20140812072436.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20140619013338.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140415021211.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20111108012753.0 952 $l OTAX626 $d 20100608050749.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20100503141406.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20100301073843.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20100528011220.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE5F65CEFBCF11DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b IOXInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
