When the Human Genome project, a 15 year global collaborative effort to map and sequence the Human Genome, was completed in 2003 it opened the door for new understanding and identification of specific genes with ties to specific diseases. Today, you can purchase an in home genetic test from companies such as 23 and Me and Ancestry to receive personal genetic information. Although these tests have all the genetic information, they do not provide all the medical genetic detail for you.
Here at Healthy Living Family Medical, we have tools and providers that can interpret that genetic information.
