Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Treating most diseases involves a certain amount of trial and error, because some drugs or treatments are more effective for some individuals than for others. How could more precise information about variations within the human genome help doctors?
A
Doctors would be able to tell patients whether or not they would survive a disease based on the patient’s DNA.
B
Knowing which drugs or treatments worked best on specific genotypes would help pinpoint treatments more quickly
C
It would allow doctors to alter a patient’s genome so that he or she could be treated more effectively with current drugs.
D
Knowing the patient’s genome would provide information about how long the treatment would take once the correct drug was identified.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Personal genomics can also be used to predict or confirm a genetic disease?. By looking at an individual’s genome it is possible to identify genetic variants? that may increase the likelihood of an individual having a genetic disease later on in life.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA sequencing insights help tailor personalized medical care to the needs of the patient. The technology helps clinicians analyze the patient genome for variants, mutations, and anomalies that are indicators of disease or other health concerns.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although genome sequencing cannot predict that an individual will definitely develop a particular condition, it enables doctors to make more informed decisions regarding future management of their patients. Personalised medicine is now possible due to breakthroughs in whole genome sequencing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Personalized Medicine Knowledge of a patient’s genetic profile can help doctors select the proper medication or therapy and administer it using the proper dose or regimen. Personalized medicine is being advanced through data from the Human Genome Project.
